One of the few things I do miss about not being able to eat dairy is the occasional side dish of creamed spinach. Inspired by the Caribbean dish, Callaloo which is a spinach soup, this dairy-free spinach dish uses coconut milk to achieve the creamy texture. The mild spice and citrus are reminiscent of traditional callaloo. However, the liquid is drastically reduced to transform the Latin soup into a chewy side dish. Serve it over rice, and you also have a vegetarian entree.
