   chopped, or two 10-oz packages frozen chopped spinach,
   thawed 6 Tbsp dehydrated minced or chopped onion 3
   Tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp instant
   nonfat dry milk 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp sugar 1/4

   cup) 1 (8 oz) can sliced water chestnuts, drained and
   chopped 1 1/2 cups light sour cream 1 cup

   If using fresh spinach, steam it over rapidly boiling
   water 1 to 2 minutes, until tender, then drain well.
   If using frozen, simply squeeze out the excess
   moisture but do not cook. In a small bowl, combine the
   dehydrated onion, flour, dry milk, onion powder,
   sugar, turmeric, and salt. In a medium-size bowl,
   combine the remaining ingredients with the drained
   spinach. Add the dry ingredients to the spinach
   mixture and mix well. Chill for several hours. Serve
   in a hollowed-out bread round, if desired.
