Is there a way to cook dark leafy greens without losing too much iron content?

Steam or blanch, but remember that spinach will wilt quite a bit. What looks like a huge amount of raw spinach will become a very small amount of cooked.

Boiling them pulls out the nutrients of most vegetables.
With spinach, put it in a fry pan with some olive oil and cook over low heat until it shrinks.

Steam it but just for a few minutes. Or Blanche, dip them in boiling water just till they go limp.

Blanche or steam is second best to raw. It does not take long, just long enough for it to go limp, and darken in color.
