Do You Like Spinach?

[TygreBryte]

Why would anyone do something so mean to spinach as to boil it? Steam it! salt, olive oil, 2x as much water as to coat the bottom of the pan, flame, steam, eat, drink the juice! yahoo!

To go slightly off my own topic, I stopped boiling vegetables a long time ago.

I use one of these:

It's cheap, takes up hardly any space, and it's see-thru'.

You can use it for a lot of other foods too.

Put it in a salad.

If anyone has a Claim Jumper restaurant near them, and well likes eating there, try their Crunchy Spinach Salad!

I don't like to eat there. Their portion sizes are disturbing.

I don't like to eat there. Their portion sizes are disturbing.

Reminds me of Annie Hall:

"The food in this place is really terrible."
"Yes, and such small portions."

i don't know how you call it in English, I like it when it's cut into tiny bits with cream added. Usually it's bought frozen. I don't like it when it's still in its leaf form.

I've never had it raw but I eat it numerous dishes. All of the tastes blend together so you never know, I may not like it by itself.

I love it!

There used to be a frozen spinach dish that you could buy in the freezer section of the grocery store I think it was Stoffers brand, and it was a spinach souffle. For a frozen side dish, it was so delicious! Of course, I'm sure it was loaded with oils, butters, and gobs of sodium, but still good!

I remember that... and I agree: it was one of the better frozen dishes I've had. They also used to make a corn souffle that I thought was good.

[wascallywabbit]

I love frittatas made with spinach and feta.

Me making Spanakopita, one of many of my favorite spinach dishes.

Spinach is my favorite vegetable (aside from well prepared asparagus). Steamed or sauteed with garlic and olive oil or creamed spinach is best.

 

[Endlight]

I love spinach in any form., cooked or raw.

On a hot day there is nothing like a fresh crisp spinach salad with loads of sliced mushrooms and a creamy dressing. I will throw in either chicken, or ham slivers w/ almonds sivers, or possibly some bacon bits, if that's my taste of the moment.

My second best is baby spinach, sliced very thin and broiled to a crisp in very hot oil with a Chinese or Japanese dressing. It goes with any main dish you can think of.

[ajax27]

I love spinach, especially steamed then coated in butter. I like spinach best with fish, like salmon.

 

[KennyD]

I like spinach to be pan cooked .. add just a slice or two of butter .. serve. Then put about two teaspoons of apple cider viniger over it . I LOVE it !

 

[neoachilles]

I love spinach. I'm Haitian, and I remember when I was younger, my mother would make the most awesome rice and serve it with spinach and beef. Ohhh...so good.

 

[miaedu]

love spinach. raw, cooked or steamed. yum.

 

[luminum]

It was the first vegetable that I consented to and I still love it

 

[Joshua_me]

same here! boiled spinach is really just... nasty.

Agreed.

I'm not sure what happened back in the 50's and 60's, but somehow everyone thought that boiling the holy hell out of veggies was the right thing to do...


Thankfully, these days we know better.
