Ideas for using spinach

Does anyone have any good recipes with spinach? I feel like I am never able to finish spinach before it goes bad.

Spinach and artichoke dip. Use corn tortilla chips to scoop it up. I'll try to find my ex-wife's recipe. If not, there are good recipes online.

I usually make spinach artichoke dip with roasted garlic when I have a bunch of leftover spinach in the frig. Or, I will put it in a ziplock bag, roll it tightly, and throw it in the freezer for future use. I don't really have a recipe for the spinach artichoke dip, I just throw ingredients together (cream cheese, diced red bell pepper, and red onion with the chopped spinach, artichoke, and roasted garlic), and bake it, then I serve it with warm tortilla chips. It always tastes good.

Nearly every week, I buy a huge bag and microwave it (or you can cook it in a little water). Then it will keep for more than a week in a container in the fridge (and doesn't take up so much space). So if you fear its about to spoil, cook and store it.

I usually just sauté it with garlic and mushrooms and MrsT eats it that way, like a side, or I throw it on some pizza for her.

Oh, that's a great tip!

Mild and creamy spinach soup is one of my favorites. Mix 50 ml/50 g melted butter + 60 ml/30 g APF/plain flour on a hot pan, add 1000 ml/1 kg milk or light cream slowly (trickle) and stir. Add 1000 ml/~130 g of fresh spinach (or equivalent weight; 2-3 handfuls of thawed/precooked, drained spinach) and let simmer for a couple of minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar + a pinch of white pepper and put aside. Serve with boiled, halved eggs.

Spinach crêpes (a handful of spinach in a basic crêpe batter) taste great with cranberry or lingonberry jam.

Sauté it, throw it in an omelette with some nice gruyere.

I don't like the taste or feel of it in my mouth. We don't buy it here, but if my wife knows I'm making Thai salad she buys a pack of it to be added. Our kids love it too. I don't eat it. I make something else for myself. Don't like kale or quinoa either.

That sounds delicious! Don't think I have tried spinach soup before, have to try this out soon.

That looks scrumptious! Do you put different fillings as well?

Spinach dip

Jamie's Minestrone - I usually use fresh instead of canned/tinned items.

 

[flyinglentris]

Quiche, Salads, Soups, Florentine Omelets, Spanokopita, Spinach Wraps, Spinach Bread, Spinach Pastas, Creamed Spinach and Sauteed Spinach. And Spinach on Coldcut Sandwiches, instead of Lettuce or Endive.

Try making a general Spinach Paste or Puree to add as a general prepared ingredient in various dishes or as a Dip or Spread.
