Spinach should be washed very well since the leaves and stems tend to collect sand and soil. Before washing, trim off the roots and separate the leaves. Place the spinach in a large bowl of tepid water and swish the leaves around with your hands as this will allow any dirt to become dislodged. Remove the leaves from the water, empty the bowl, refill with clean water and repeat this process until no dirt remains in the water (usually two to three times will do the trick). Do not leave spinach soaking in the water as water-soluble nutrients will leach into the water. Spinach sold in bags has been pre-washed and only needs to be rinsed. If you are going to use it in a salad, dry it using a salad spinner or by shaking it in a colander.
Raw spinach has a mild, slightly sweet taste that is perfect for salads, while its flavor becomes more robust when it is cooked. Add raw baby spinach to smoothies. Spinach salads are a classic, easy, and delicious meal or side dish. You can steam our saute spinach with garlic for a delicious treat. Sprinkle it with pine nuts or nutritional yeast for some added interest. Add layers of steamed spinach to lasagna or other casseroles.
I suggest the baked spinach because it seems easy to prepare and it can feed up 6 people. The recipe can be found on a website called smittenkitchen.com
