Spinach!

Spring Spinach is popping up fresh for the harvest! Spinach has a lot of star power already- it doesn't need much primping to be delicious. Here's a few spinach prep ideas....

Spinach sauteed with Olive Oil and Garlic as a side

Spinach in a Salad: Drizzle a Hot Dressing (some kind of warmed fat like butter or olive oil) over the spinach just before serving. The spinach will wilt a bit to make chewing easier.

Spinach in sauces: shred and throw into any kind of Italian-flavored dish, or how about mixing spinch into a curry coconut milk sauce? It goes great with lentils!

Spinach can be used like an herb! Mix fresh chopped parsley and shredded spinach, and mix in with a hot grain just after it has finished cooking. Tastes great with couscous, rice, millet, and quinoa.
