Cooking spinach?!
Cooking spinach?
Is there a way to cook dark leafy greens without losing too much iron content?
Answers:
Steam or blanch, but remember that spinach will wilt quite a bit. What looks like a huge amount of raw spinach will become a very small amount of cooked.
Saute them just until withered...
steam
Steam it but just for a few minutes. Or Blanche, dip them in boiling water just till they go limp.
Boiling them pulls out the nutrients of most vegetables.
With spinach, put it in a fry pan with some olive oil and cook over low heat until it shrinks.
No i don't like spinach.
well : yourself can try "Steam Cooking " because Spinach is
like "Brocoli,Asparigus both green ! for best results make sure
that it's been washed properly at first yes !
Blanche or steam is second best to raw. It does not take long, just long enough for it to go limp, and darken in color.
I quickly saute it in a little veggie broth and garlic. YUM
