Hit me with your favourite ways to eat spinach!
Raw or cooked.
Currently i steam it until its soggy, drain and eat. Not sure thats the best way to cook it (is that even how I'm supposed to cook it... haha?) but it works for me.
TIA!
Hi,
I cook it in a wok with a a little bit of olive oil and lots of garlic. Maybe throw in some mushrooms.

Sauteed with a little bit of olive oil and lots of garlic
Raw with mandarin orange pieces (fresh or canned), raspberries (fresh or frozen) and walnuts or pecans on top. Could also use strawberries, which I'm going to try RIGHT NOW.
Try the below - I made it Saturday and it was muy bien!!!! Loved it.

LOVE spinach. Take a fry pan, put the spinach in w/ a little water and some chicken bouillon powder (not too much due to the sodium). Put some minced garlic in and spanish onions, simmer it down and enjoy! Sometimes I add mushrooms, sometimes some chicken for protein. DELICIOUS! Full of good nutrients and vitamins and the taste is fantastic.
I like it sauteed in olive oil, with a bit of garlic or onion. A bit of Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top is great too ! Sometimes I like a bit of crumbled bacon cooked with it. It's great served with a grilled chicken breast.
I usually only eat baby spinach so I use it everywhere! I usually eat it in wraps with tuna or chicken, or cut up and cooked into an omelette or spaghetti sauce, or I'll just have it in a salad with either sunflower seeds or pine nuts + dried cranberries, fresh strawberries or mangoes and poppyseed or other dressing.
i use it as salad base or as a pizza topping
Hm. I find cooked spinach absolutely revolting, but I love love loveeee it raw. In salads, wraps or on its own. I love it with nuts and a sweet topping in salads. Its not the taste but the texture of cooked spinach I hate.
i hate raw spinach leaves... but i always eat the frozen kind. I just put it in a microwaveable bowl for 4 minutes to cook and then mix it in with my salad , so good!
spinach artichoke dip!!
Two words: Saag aloo.
I either eat it raw or steam it as you do. Loves my spinach!
I usually eat it cooked in soup, though I love it raw too.
i don't like cooked spinach at all, but i love it raw or wilted in salad. one of my favourites is to saute red peppers and mushrooms in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and pour it hot over baby spinach. i also like hot goat cheese on top...mmmm!
I am surprised no one mentioned spanakopita - the combo of spinach and feta is fantastic!
My favorite with spinach is with low fat feta cheese either on a pizza or in a chimmie chunga done with tortilla wraps...which are good for on the go pple and lunches...great for lunch on the go meals instead of the quick prepare foods which are usually high calorie ones ![]()
So I eat spinach every single day - I buy it raw every week in a HUGE TUB and put it on my plate before ANYTHING ELSE every single night at dinner... SO like I make myself grilled eggplant & onions & a hamburger - underneath all of this yumminess is spinach! Spinach goes amazing with anything & everything!!!
I LOVE Spinach too!!
I also like to sautee it in a bit of cream cheese... mmm.
