Frozen spinach?

[Catt Queen]

Any ideas on how to make it taste good?

Ideally by cooking it

Chuck it in the bin?

You guys are not in a helpful mood today are you?

Remove from package, microwave for 3 minutes, stir, then microwave for another 1.5 minutes and drain. Spend the next hour trying to eat it because it's so bland.

That's pretty much what I'm doing now...

I had a really tasty spinach dish from an Indian once so know it can be done... but spices and stuff are not my strong point.

Frozen spinach can be awesome.

We use it to make stuffed pasta shells.

1) You'll need to have slightly cooked shells or manicotti.

2) Get some nice fresh extra firm tofu, crushed garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and a touch of veganaise (if desired). Mix all of this together into a ricotta like-mixture.

3) mix in defrosted frozen spinach.

4) get a plastic zip-lock bag and cut the corner off and then stuff that funnel with the vegan ricotta.

5) Squeeze that mixture into the slightly done pasta.

6) layer a pan with some nice pasta sauce and then put the shells or manicotti on top. Then layers the next layer with more pasta sauce.

7) Cook in an oven ???

Profit.

I do this whole thing by eye, so I have no idea of how much of each, but it tastes awesome.

I like this recipe for chickpea and spinach curry: http://www.parsleysoup.co.uk/getrecipe. ... nach_curry
It is pretty easy and quick, I make it fairly often. I usually use fresh spinach, but it should work fine with frozen instead.

Stir fry with tandoori spices, sea salt, chick peas and tomatoes.

Don't buy it from Sainsbury's, theirs is crap. Tesco do a good one in lumps.

Make it into saag aloo. Mustard seeds, ginger, garlic, chilli and cumin are my general spices for it but I don't measure. But I'm sure google can give you plenty recipes for it if you need precise amounts
