Want to eat more spinach? You can start here! 11 recipes to find inspiration
If you've made a resolution to eat more vegetables, there's one that tends to test your resolve: spinach. Not because it is complicated, but because of the uncomfortable place it occupies in the domestic imaginary. For many people it is still synonymous with an anodyne dish, one of those that are eaten "because it's time". A rather poor fate for a leaf that, well treated, can be silky, fragrant, even addictive.
Let's pose it as a simple challenge and without drama: you want to eat more spinach, but you don't want dinner to seem like a penance. This is where it pays to be practical. Spinach doesn't have the immediate allure of a good grilled salmon, nor that "I'm taking care of myself" aura that sells itself. Instead they offer something better: they adapt to almost any cuisine, they cook in a heartbeat and, with two wise decisions: garlic, a touch of acid, a dairy product, a legume, an egg, they change their role: they cease to be the resigned accompaniment and become the mainstay of the dish.
