Note

You can substitute fresh chopped spinach for the frozen variety. Use approximately 1 cup of fresh spinach, wilted and chopped finely, for best results.

Ensure the Worcestershire sauce you use is vegan-friendly, as traditional recipes often contain anchovies. Check the label for plant-based alternatives.

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove before using.
