Spinach Recipes?

If you've ever had an Indian dish with "sag" in it, probably spinach.

I had spinach last night.

Cooked spagetti

Chucked some garlic in a pan with a bit of olive oil. Washed spinach, dry, and chucked in on a high temp and stirred. Reduced temp and chucked in tin of chopped tomatoes and some mediterranean herbs.

Spagetti takes 10 mins so I started the spinach when the spag was 1/2 way through.

Drain spagetti. Chuck spinach & toms on top. Grated cheese on top of that if liked.

I believe a certain Mr Oliver is cooking something similar on an advert for a certain supermarket but I've been doing it for years - can't remember where I first saw it. Magazine probably. I have a preference for 10 minute recipes

I have a bag sitting in my fridge too. I'll probably make some pea and spinach soup. I'll gently fry an onion then add a generous portion of frozen peas (and cooked potato if I have any leftovers) and some stock (got HM ham stock at the moment, but sometimes use HM chicken - or you could use a cube). Bring to boil and then after 10/15 mins of simmering add spinach. Cook for a further minute or two, add seasoning as necessary, then liquidise. Sorry it's not exact measures but I tend to make these things up as I go along!

Have just discovered how much I like spinach, but other than having it wilted with nutmeg I haven't done much with it, any ideas for me to make it into a meal?

Put some wilted spinach in a ramekin-type dish...make a depression in the middle and crack an egg into it...bake in oven til egg yolk is lighly set. Finish with a some parmesan shavings...yummy! Makes a nice starter or a light lunch. Don't forget..loads of nutmeg in the spinach!

Already we seem to have a lot of perpetual spinach growing, and we can't use it quick enough in salads so I'm thinking of spinach and ricotta cannelloni. Can you recommend a recipe? We did make the Jamie Oliver one once, but found the sauce too runny.

Or maybe there's another way to use spinach that I haven't thought of (apart from using it as a veg on its own)?

Thanks guys,

Hi soba,

This older thread might give you some ideas: Alternative Spinach Recipes?

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

These threads might help too:

Recommend a spinach recipe? How about one without any spinach in it? Ugh - sorry, hate the stuff. Think I'd rather try an evaporated milk sandwich ...

Eggs benedict and green coloured pasta are springing to mind for me.

Thanks for bringing this up soba, the perpetual stuff I have growing in the garden is going mad so I'll need this thread too.

Spendy, Spinach or an evaporated milk sandwich? _pale_ I think the spinach would do it for me every time!
