It was hard to find a main dish recipe in RSC#11 that wasn't loaded with fat or sugar, so I was happy to see this recipe entered. Unfortuntely, I didn't like these at all. Nor did DH or my youngest daughter who eats most everything. For me, I found the shallots were overpowering because they were essentially uncooked.

I am giving this a 3 star review. The only thing I changed was to put the shallots in with the spinach while they wilted as I don't like a raw onion taste. This was an easy and quick lunch that I did enjoy. However, I felt it needed a bit of something else to bring 'pop'. Perhaps a bit of seasoning? I am sure you could get that from salsa if you followed the suggestions and served it with it but I think maybe some spices in the cooking might be good too. I will make this again but I will play around with it.
