How about a big frittata. Soften some leftover veg in frying pan ,add spinach. Pour in some beaten eggs and a bit of cheese. Cook until set the finish it off under the grill. Great for using up odd mushrooms etc that I always find in the fridge. Can be eaten warm or cold the next day for lunch :j

ohhh, i quite fancy having a bash at this!!!! do you think it would be good to add some mash??

thanks everyone for the replies!

My ds sits with a bag of spinach and eats them like a packet of crisps, must admit I love them raw, usually in a salad or as a sandwich filler along with ham/cheese and wholegrain mustard.

If fairly small and young leaves, very good to make a salad with orange segments, dress with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Orange complements spinach very well because the iron in spinach is bound by oxalic acid (a chemical that prevents it release) and the vitamin C in the orange helps the iron to be released.

Enjoy!

Hi,

I had a quarter bag of spinach left yesterday and I used it in a noodle salad:

Cook noodles for 5mins, during the last min chuck the spinch in.
Drain and rinse under cold water.
Put tsp or so of garlic (or other oil) on the noodles to stop them sticking together.
Stir in a tbsp hoummus, some very thin red pepper sticks and some carrot shavings.

How about pesto if you have some nuts and parmasan?? I know it's supposed to be basil and pine nuts but you can make your own version with spinach, cashews (maybe) oil and parmasan?
