Ойын-сауық

Spinach. Superpowered sailor Popeye's go-to power-up. Every youngster's worst dinnertime nightmare. The leafy green stuff is divisive, to say the least. But, chock-full of various nutrients and versatile enough to compliment tons of different dishes, spinach can add a surprising touch to an entrée when done right!
Sadly, plenty of home cooks have suffered at the hands - or, should we say, "stems" - of wilted, soggy, watered-down spinach, so it's easy to see where the veggie gets its bad rap from. But a few simple tips, tricks, and extra steps can take your spinach from saturated and unsatisfying to scrumptious! The first step? Making sure to avoid these mistakes everyone makes when cooking spinach.

    Chop several strips of bacon, fry, remove, add a tablespoon or 2 each of vinegar and sugar, cook till sugar dissolves, add bacon pieces to a bowl of fresh spinach, pour the bacon grease, vinegar and sugar over the spinach, serve and eat immediately. Second, add spinach leaves to a bowl of almost boiling hot soup, it wilts only slightly while you eat the soup. Third, make an awesome fresh salad. Fourth, add a thick layer or two of fresh leaves without stems to homemade lasagna.

    I add the baby spinach to a pan dish once the heat is off. Mix it with the hot 😅ingredients and it is tender.

    I grew up eating cooked spinach that was drained of water and mixed with a good dose of vinegar. It's still my fav. way to eat it! I think frozen spinach in pre packaged meals taste like hay!

    When I was a kid we didn't have snacks around our house so I ate cans of spinach with lemon juice! 😋 You're right, it makes an excellent snack, and its still delicious!

    It's just to hard for me to eat. However, if I cook it..I cut it small. Add a bunch of feta cheese. Makes it so much better tasting to me. Of course I'm probably only tasting the cheese instead of the spinach. I'm good with that😁otherwise all spinach is just ewww🤮
