I cheat by adding it to smoothies. I eat a pound of spinach a week.
Swimming rama for sure.
By squeezing an entire can until its contents shoot up in the air, catching it with your mouth, and then flexing your uncanny overly defined biceps.
This really is the only answer. Spinach had been eaten like this for almost 100 years.
Lightly steamed with a little lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Saag paneer is a great dish. Spinach, spices, and cheese.
Wilted with onion and garlic, or as mentioned, many Saag curries. I’m partial to Saag Aloo
When I eat storebought pesto I add some blended spinach. After grating some extra permesan on top and adding a bit of EVO I don’t really taste it anymore anyway
I steam it, then puree and mix into the sauce for mac and cheese, to trick myself into eating vegetables.
In some form of ravioli
Depends on the reason you are eating it. A baby spinach salad is the healthy way I like best it’s easy enough to eat a 1/2 to 1 pound at a time.
My favorite spinach dish is a Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé. It’s the opposite of healthy. I used to cook it to a soft set and use it as a chip dip. It became my go to dip to replace artichoke dip
My smoothie:
1 banana
1 handfull of fresh spinach
2 big spoons of greek yogurt
1 big spoon of cashew butter
Squirt of lime juice
Enough almond milk to blend
Ice
optional: protein powder and collagen
Add-ons: berries, matcha, mango, salt, flaxmeal, coconut milk, chia seeds
Just a heads up, you can also freeze fresh spinach in the freezer for smoothies! It keeps pretty well because it freezes into individual “chips” that don’t stick together unless it thaws. It’s excellent if you’d usually be throwing away spinach that was going to go bad. I recommend buying and freezing a large portion immediately in a freezer bag, just so it doesn’t get mushy in your fridge.
I add it to soups. Sometimes I just have it raw as the vegetable side of a meal
Creamed
Raw on a sandwich or lightly fried in garlic butter. It’s also great raw with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper, if you’re feeling healthy.
The only way I can do cooked spinach in in Quiche.
Other than that I eat it raw as part of a salad or sandwich topping.
If you’d like a recipe, this one is one of our favorites and my husband typically doesn’t like veggies at all. He loves it. (Please ignore that it comes from a meal kit service; this one doesn’t even use any custom spice blends so it’s easy to do on your own. We tried the kit thing slightly before and during COVID but have long since discontinued it.)
