It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Great recipe! I used flat leaf parsley instead of cilantro...and used sicilian spices and red pepper flakes as well. Will become a staple and base for variations.
The dish was easy to make after a busy day at work. The men in my house really liked this dish. I would like to try it with shrimp, feta and hot pepper, in place of chicken & mozzerella.
