Spinach

[Scarlett]

I have a big bag of spinach that needs using up. Any ideas what I can do with it?!

[Roger9]

Sell it to Popeye

[masterchef]

use it in a Stir-fry

[funnygirl]

Stir it into a pasta sauce.

Have it raw in salads.

I love spinach!!

Melt a small knob of butter, salt, pepper and garlic granules//salt/or powder and add the spinach. Press it down until it wilts and drain the excess liquid off. Can then be served as a veg or cooled and kept in fridge until needed in pasta, quiche, whatever you like. If you leave it raw for too long it will start to go watery and rot and is vile. If its fresh, yes its good for salad

Wilt it with some cream cheese and serve as a veg. Or just wilt it in a colander, squeeze all the water out and freeze.

Madhur Jaffrey gives a lovely potato & spinach dish in her Eastern Vegetarian Cookery book:-

2 lb waxy potatoes, diced into �" cubes and boiled in salted water until just tender, drained and cooled.
1 lb fresh spinach, washed and dropped into boiling water to wilt, then drained, the water squeezed out and chopped fine.
6 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
� tsp whole black mustard seeds
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 tsp garam masala
pinch cayenne pepper

Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan and add the mustard seeds. As soon as they pop, add the onion and garlic and fry for 3-4 mins until lightly brown at the edges. Add the chopped spinach, stir and fry for 10 mins. Add the potatoes, salt, garam masala and cayenne. Stir and mix gently until potatoes are heated through.

I love spinach. I like mine stir fried with onion. For an easy (and healthy) meal I have stir fried spinach with some smoked haddock and a poached egg on top.

Cooked spinach is also wonderful in scrambled egg - ok the egg is bright green but sprinkle some parmesan and mature cheddar on top and voila ! the perfect dish to accompany hot buttered toast....
