On the subject of recipes, does anyone have a great recipe for cooked or raw spinach/other greens? I'm trying to find something my 11 year old will like:-) >>>> My mother used to make a spinach dish that is still my favorite: Ingredients: 1 small onion 1 TB olive oil 2 hard-boiled eggs a bag of raw spinach (about the size of a 4-quart pot) Italian salad dressing. Wash the spinach thoroughly 3 times because it can have a lot of dirt. Chop the onion and saute it in olive oil in a 4-quart pot. Add the spinach and cover the pot until the spinach shrivels to a small portion of its original size. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat. Sprinkle Italian salad dressing to taste and mix. Transfer the spinach to a serving dish and decorate with slices of hard boiled eggs. Enjoy! You can customize the calories in this dish by controlling the amount of oil for sauteing and by using vinegar and sprinkling garlic powder, oregano, savory, salt, and pepper instead of using Italian salad dressing. Preparation time: about 15 minutes. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to serve it with Blue/Roquefort chunks of cheese whether in a salad or cooked. If cooking make sure not to cook more than a minute or so and to immediately rinse in cold water - to retain the bright color. I sprinkle with lemon juice and then the chunks of cheese. Now I'm on this diet the chunks will be minute. Canary Peg PS I use fresh spinach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 We use fresh spinach instead of lettuce on the kids sandwiches. Granted, they don't get much, but it's better than nothing. > > On the subject of recipes, does anyone have a great > > recipe for cooked or raw spinach/other greens?
