What is your favorite meal that uses cooked spinach?

[@zacksbeyondourplate6784]

Love learning how to cook tasty and healthy!

Chop several strips of bacon, fry, remove, add a tablespoon or 2 each of vinegar and sugar, cook till sugar dissolves, add bacon pieces to a bowl of fresh spinach, pour the bacon grease, vinegar and sugar over the spinach, serve and eat immediately.
Second, add spinach leaves to a bowl of almost boiling hot soup, it wilts only slightly while you eat the soup.
Third, make an awesome fresh salad.
Fourth, add a thick layer or two of fresh leaves without stems to homemade lasagna.

Nice

I add the baby spinach to a pan dish once the heat is off. Mix it with the hot 😅ingredients and it is tender.

[@lotachukwuobiadim4380]

Love it

Why are those ladies stuffing the spinach in they're mouth like animals that never used a fork before lol!

[@Hwoman1123]

There's fun in doing it that way . Showing how excited u r to try eat.. u surely know how people in various parts of the world eat using hands right?

In Vietnam, raw vegetables are a daily meal that must be washed with biological salt water before eating👍

[@pvtbuddie]

What do you mean by "biological salt water"?

[@ulrichvonstomp6031]

I grew up eating cooked spinach that was drained of water and mixed with a good dose of vinegar. It's still my fav. way to eat it! I think frozen spinach in pre packaged meals taste like hay!

[@toocutepuppies6535]

When I was a kid we didn't have snacks around our house so I ate cans of spinach with lemon juice! 😋 You're right, it makes an excellent snack, and its still delicious!

[@chaddentandt9868]

I've only had spinach raw with the exception of in a quiche.

[@sandybarnes887]

I get raw spinach on my subway sandwiches

[@chaddentandt9868]

[@sandybarnes887]

@@chaddentandt9868 yup. Raw is better

[@NothingCompares2U]

I just realized this is why I hated spinach and now I let it become room temperature and dry out, then just dip it in olive oil.

Apparently the editor doesn’t know the difference between fresh spinach and chard.

[@DC180]

still tastes good when soggy, i don't mind

[@lindabarling7719]

It's just to hard for me to eat. However, if I cook it..I cut it small. Add a bunch of feta cheese. Makes it so much better tasting to me. Of course I'm probably only tasting the cheese instead of the spinach. I'm good with that😁otherwise all spinach is just ewww🤮

[@grumpyoldnord]

Mistake number one: you cooked it.

[@TheOneTheyCallDean]

Yes. Most greens and fruits are more nutritious raw than when cooked. 😊🌎✨

[@Goat67]

Why does baby spinach sometimes smell like fish?

[@LifeHacks-ut4pc]

Cut tough bitter stems off spinach. You missed this critical step.

[@user-iy1lz6jo4d]

Sorry, lady-you lost me once you started blathering about frozen vegetables being just as good as fresh. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️😆
