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).

ingredients
1 1/2 pound beef roast
1 container (32 ounce size) beef broth
2 cups water
1/4 cup polenta, coarse or fine
8 red potatoes, cut in half
1 onion, quartered
1 slice (1.5 pound size) raw pumpkin (calabaza)
2 ears corn, cut into thirds
1 carrot, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
1 leek, split in half, then cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon mild paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves, lightly packed
directions
Cut the piece of beef into large chunks, one per serving. Place the beef into a large saucepan and pour in the beef broth and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer until nearly tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Stir the polenta into the stew along with the potatoes and onion. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Cut the pumpkin into serving-sized pieces and add to the stew along with the corn, carrot, bell pepper, celery, and leek. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, adding more water if needed to barely cover.
Stir in the oregano and paprika during the last 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
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.
