any idea what to do with spinich?

Question

whats a good recipe for cooking with spinich?

Answer 1

saute it in olive oil and some garlic, add to bow tie pasta, toss, add salt pepper, and Parmesan! delicious

Answer 2

I buy fresh local spinich from my farmers market. Clean it and wipe off with a cloth. Trim the stems if you wish. In a skillet I add some high quality olive oil and let that come to tempature. I add some chopped garlic and the spinich leaves and keep turning them and coat them with oil and garlic for about a minute maybe less. Just until the start to wilt. I take them out and they are very good. I learned this by watching Emeril.

Answer 3

Spanokipita is always good, of course. But for something easier, Borani is one of my favorite spinach (side) dishes. I have made this recipe many times:

10 oz fresh spinach, stemmed and well chopped
1 cup chopped onions
3 scallions, chopped (we used spring onions)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon minced fresh dill or mint (1 teaspoon dried)
1/3 cup grated feta cheese
2 Tablespoons plain yoghurt
salt and black pepper to taste

In a covered saucepan, cook the spinach for a few minutes on medium heat, stirring a couple of times, until it is limp but still bright green. In a colander or sieve, gently press out excess moisture. Set the spinach aside.

Saute the onions, scallions and garlic in the olive oil. When the onions are translucent, stir in the spinach and the dill and heat for about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon and pressing out any excess liquid, transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl. Stir in the feta and yoghurt. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve chilled.

Makes about 2 cups

Answer 5

over low to medium heat, put a little olive oil in a saute pan mince two cloves of garlic and toss it into the pan, throw the fresh spinach in the pan as well and put a lid on the pan. Let it cook for about 3 min and then stir, once the spinach is wilted, sprinkle some feta cheese on top and put the lid on just until it melts. It is delicious!

Answer 11

.Pound chicken breast as flat as you can get it. Spread some spinach and cheese of your choice, on each breast. Roll up the chicken and place in a baking dish. Cook about 30 minutes, till chicken is done. You can marinade the chicken before hand if you want to. You can also put spinach in Lasagna.
