Can you help me with my spinach??

mybutterfly63

I have just bought a big bag of spinach from the supermarket but I have no idea what to do with it! Does anyone have any great recipes I can try out with it?

I put some chopped tomatos and a handful of spinach in my scrambled eggs. I use one whole egg and 3 whites.

I use it in my salads, chop it up and put it in omelets, I have been known to eat spinach out of the bag...like chips...

I like to add it to my tomato sauce, wilt it with garlic and onions, put it in scrambled egges, use it instead of lettuce. It is very versitile.

Throw it in some stir fry. I do it all the time! Or make a salad with it

just big chunks of garlic and some olive oil sauteed in a pan.. amazing and healthy!

great in omlettes, salads, brown rice; mixed with artichokes for a dip; mixed with other greens such as collards, turnip and mustard; great sauted in olive oil

I dry fry about an inch cube of chorizo (chopped) to release it's oil, add a few cherry tomatoes until they soften and the skins start to split, add a chopped clove of garlic and stir briefly before adding the spinach and keep tossing it together until it's wilted. LOTS of fresh ground black pepper and hey presto! If you can afford a few extra calories add some pine nuts at the garlic stage, yummy!

I add it to everything. I use it in omlettes, chop it up and add it to soup, use it instead of lettuce on everything, saute it with tomatoes and onions as a side. FYI - it soaks up a ton of liquid while cooking.

For just spinach as a side, Saute with minced garlic and olive oil until leaves are wilted but still bright green.

I use it as lettuce, make a salad. I use it in everything. I cut it up and put it in pretty much anything. You could steam it and put a tad of salt and evoo. You could also through it in a smoothie with a banana. If you through some fruit in there you cant tell except its green I LOVE spinach!!

I like it in any salad, juice, and even tossed into any veggie stir fry. It is also good tossed in with pasta. If you like beans

saute onions, garlic and blackbeans, toss in fresh spinach and kale, then cook together. sorry i don't have measurements, just mix till it looks good. Season with paprika. I don't use much oil if any.

I chop it up real small and sneak it into the spag or lasagna sauce, the kids don't know and they love it. Also in eggs it is really good, you can put spinach in just about every thing.

I love wilting my spinach (heat a little bit of water in a pot, add spinach and stir it until it's softened. Drain the excess water. I season it with some garlic powder.)

I put wilted spinach on my sandwiches, which is very tasty.

Also try chopping up a tomato and adding it to the wilted spinach. Season it however you want, maybe add a little bit of Parmesan cheese. Makes a tasty, healthy and easy side dish.
