Spinach Recipes?

Pink.

Hi Jamie,

Wash it, give it a shake to remove any excess water, pop it into a pan and add a knob of butter and cook for about five minutes until it's wilted.

There's an older thread with lots of spinach recipes that should help:

Spinach Recipes?

I'll merge your thread with that one later to keep all the suggestions together.

......then add cream, nutmeg, toasted pine nuts, and use in canneloni, lasagne, or as a pasta sauce.

Yummy! I do liek Pink Winged but no butter as on a diet, so just a centimetre of water in the bottom! Don't boil too long otherwise you'll get a lump the size of an egg from a whole spinach plant! :rotfl:

I make pasta with blue cheese, spinach and chorizo (or salami)

Or you could make spanakopita, which is spinach, mushrooms, bacon and cheese in a filo pastry parcel. It's yummy.

It's lovely when added to the ingredients for a Lasagne!

Crikey, you don't think its yukky, frogga ? LOL !!

Ok Jamie - give it a rinse and a shake in cold water, cook it gently in a big saucepan ( or even a wok etc ) in its own moisture... it will only take a few minutes to wilt down ( a big bag of spinach only makes a couple of handfuls of edible greens :P ) when done, press the moisture out with a spoon etc ( I save the spinach water for soup or stocks )

So, now you can serve it plainly as a veg in its own right, with a knob of butter and salt and pepper - I like a good squeeze of lemon juice and maybe a grating of nutmeg over it ( the latter sounds weird but it goes really well with spinach ) Or you can grate some cheese over it and melt that in the over or under a grill, ditto with cheese sauce, add it in to pasta or omelettes etc, serve it with poached or fried eggs, and my favourite thing to do with it is to add it to mashed potato to make a lovely green flecked mash, looks and tastes gorgeous !

I wilt it for a few mins in a saucepan, mix with a tub of ricotta and some nutmeg & black pepper and make lasagne with it. Yum!

Probably yes, in a bowl with a centimetre of water to 'steam/boil' it.

I used some last night. I put 4 nuggets in a dish and zapped them for a couple of minutes on medium power then used it to stuff field mushrooms. :drool:
As it's already cooked it doesn't need much more than warming up.
