Got a big bag but don't know what to do with it. Not a big fan and trying to eat more of it so suggestions welcome.

Buy a (masticating) juicer and juice it.

The same goes for other green veggies you want the health benefits of, without having to eat pounds of the stuff.

Google 'green juice' for recipes.

Nice brekkie tomorrow...

Poached eggs on a bed of wilted spinach, on top of toasted bagels. Dress with mayonnaise mixed with lemon juice and plenty of freshly ground pepper.

Winner smile

Had a spinach and 3 cheese omelet for dinner...or lunch, could have been tea. I keep forgetting what I should be calling that meal eaten at noon.

When you are a spotty teenage cook learning, have President Mitterrand fly in for lunch on his Jet. A whole huge sack of spinach was needed to be picked and de-spined, wilted with melted Sark butter and duck eggs poached and dressed upon the pile.

No pressure then, Chef.

Cheers, Boss.

They didn't need the 60 Buckwheat blinnies I'd made earlier, crunts.

Fry some mushrooms and bacon then stir into the spinach and put cream over the top. Lovely breakfast. Poached egg on top if you like too.

Steam until soft - 1 minute ! - chill in iced water - remove and squeeze all the water out by hand. Mash together with half a packet of Philly cheese.
Spread mixture on a slice of raw salmon - wrap in ready made frozen puff pastry - egg wash - 220 for 35 mins
Voila - Salmon en croute - Yum.

And there's me just chucking it in a saucepan. Am I the only one who enjoys spinach as a simple green vegetable?
