These delicious spinach recipes will change your view on the versatile vegetable forever.
Spinach is packed with vitamins and minerals such as iron and magnesium but it doesn’t just keep you strong. This tasty vegetable adds a welcome crunch to pies, quiches and pastas.
Did you know?
Spinach is sometimes called English spinach and, incorrectly, silverbeet. Baby spinach leaves are best eaten raw in salads. The larger leaves should be added last to soups, stews and stir-fries, and should be cooked until barely wilted. You will find this is a commonality in many of the below spinach recipes.
Test Kitchen tips for preparing, buying and storing spinach
Preparing spinach
Spinach needs thorough washing as dirt can hide in its crevices, but do so just before using. Hold the bunch upside-down with both hands, plunge it into a sinkful of cold water and swish it vigorously several times, then lift it out. We found this works better than washing it under running water.
Choosing spinach
Spinach should be undamaged and have bright, firm leaves and crisp stems. Be sure to buy enough – as spinach cooks down to about a third of its raw volume. An average bunch will serve only two as a side dish.
Storing spinach
Enclose full-size spinach or baby leaves, untrimmed and unwashed, in a paper bag and then in a plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for a bunch, 2 days for baby leaves.
