Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Spinach Stew comes from my paternal grandmother and is one of my dad’s favorite meals. I don’t know if she created the recipe herself or if it was handed down to her by her mother. Nonetheless, this recipe is uncomplicated, easy to make gluten-free, and absolutely delicious. 

Not only is this recipe amazing, but it’s also a great way to add spinach to your diet.

First, remove and discard the casing from 13-ounces of smoked Polska Kielbasa sausage. (To make this stew gluten-free simply use a gluten-free brand of sausage. All other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.)

Slice the sausage into 1/2-inch strips and place them into a dutch oven, saucepan, or small stockpot. Cook the sausage over medium-low heat until it is browned on both sides. 

Next, add 6 cups water, 3 cups chopped potatoes, 1-1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons ground black pepper. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. 

30 Minutes One Pot Stew is yet another quick, easy, and tasty recipe that you may enjoy.   

Finally, add 16-ounces of fresh spinach. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until the spinach completely wilts.

Now, it’s time to eat!!!
