method


The simplest way to cook spinach is in a pan with a little olive oil, butter, a grating of nutmeg and a tiny squeeze of lemon juice with a lid on to let it steam. This will taste great, and it goes with just about anything – pasta, fish or meat. If there is any excess moisture when the spinach is cooked, just tilt the pan so it runs to the other side and pour it away. Let the spinach sit for a minute and then serve.

I would sugest substitute the lemon juice with garlic, this goes prefectly with roasted chicken, thats the way I do it.

All sounds great - shall try the nutmeg - does anyone know of a recipe for crispy spinach - had it in a restaurant once it was fabulous?

if you leave out the water the vitamins are more intact, try adding a chopped, dried red chili, fried potatoes and crispy onions - one of my favourites.

I have just started growing my own baby spinach and just wilt it with boiling water, brush with butter to make it sparkle, add some lemon juice and now I am adding some nutmeg. It is great.............lots of anti oxidants
