Lentil and Spinach Soup

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 12:26:00 -0400

In Lebanon, this soup is called Adas B'Sbaanegh and is prepared as a starter course or mezze. Though I have not yet tried it, the recipe looks quite straight forward with pleasing results. Traditionally, this is prepared with water but you should feel free to use broth. The amount of oil depends on your taste and dietary preferences. Originally found in a very old cookbook produced by Sahadi's a fantastic market in Brooklyn, NY. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Butternut Squash With Baby Spinach

Sun, 05 Nov 2006 12:43:01 -0500

I am planning to make this for Thanksgiving. Sounds like a nice squash option. The recipe came from Wegmans. Update: Hi all.. This is my recipe....and it is yucky!! If I could rate my own recipe, I wouuld give it a 1*...yep, it's that bad!! Perhaps it could be salvaged with far less onions, and maybe using a nice sweet onion rather than red onions. -- posted by Ms*Bindy

Shockingly Simple Spinach Stew

Sat, 25 Nov 2006 15:40:20 -0500

This is a perfect soup to make in a hurry with limited ingredients . It was in fact invented on one of those many nights coming home with nothing prepared. This is flavorful and ridiculously simple. You can freeze it for later use or take to work in a flask the next day . Also , if you have frozen spinach 'florets' ( like I do with my waitrose spinach) then this recipe needs seven of them. Delicious ! -- posted by NOOBchef

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 14:58:27 -0500

My love affair with Enoki started when I got some on special at the local store. I had to use it so I used the standard saute a bit in butter and went to heaven. I could tell you what I said but its words you use to not be able to say on TV coupled with ......... this is good. So I did a bit of surfing for recipes.

Lebanese Spinach Pies (Fatayers)

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:57:21 -0500

I am about to try this recipe for the first time, but wanted to post it because I searched and searched this site for this recipe. As a child, my family would visit my grandparents in Fall River. Lebanese meat pies and spinach pies still hot from Sam's bakery were our breakfast treat. My sibs and I have been searching for a recipe for ever. I found this one at http://www.lebguide.com/lebanon/lebanese_cuisine/default.asp Note: You can substitute spinach with unchopped purslane leaves. Recipe didn't include servings or time, so I guessed, and will correct the numbers after I've made this. -- posted by Kendra PeloJoaquin

Spinach and Chickpea Curry

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 13:20:09 -0500

A very easy curry which doesn't take a lot of effort to prepare. It is low GI so will leave you feeling fuller for longer. It is quite a dry curry when made, I like to serve it over brown rice and then the next day eat the remainder cold wrapped in a chapatti with some sour cream. -- posted by PinkCherryBlossom

For a gluten-free recipe, use tamari rather than soy sauce. -- posted by Sesquipedalian Sapphist

Refreshing Spinach & Chickpea Veggie Salad

This salad is very refreshing and versatile. It is perfect for those warm summer days.

Spinach Roman Style

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 22:52:37 -0400

This dish is all technique. The garlic cloves are browned, the pine nuts toasted and the raisins are plumped in water and heated, each flavor enhancing the spinach. I cut this recipe out of a June 2007 New York Times magazine. The original recipe was published in 1989 and came from "The Food of Southern Italy" by Carlo Middione. Put here for safekeeping, and will try this soon. I will definitely lower the amount of oil way below 1/3 cup, which is what the published recipe stated. If you are not concerned about your waistline, go ahead and use that much. I think this is a very sophisticated recipe, appropriate for a dinner party. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Chickpea, Spinach and Tomato Couscous

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 15:44:59 -0400

I adapted pinkcherryblossom's great recipe for spinach and chickpea curry to make this tasty vegetarian couscous. I changed the combination of spices a bit and substituted canned tomatoes for fresh ones. It's very flavorful and filling but light at the same time. I use Near East couscous mix for the grain: it's ready in 5 minutes as opposed to real couscous which is very long to make. If you don't use spinach in the recipe, you might want to add a little water in step 3. You may also add other vegetables, such as carrot, squash, eggplant or potatoes. Boil or steam them aldente separately and add them in step 3. This makes a perfect vegetarian entree that you can serve along with a mediteranean salad (tomato and cucumber with olive oil and lemon dressing) or simply by itself. -- posted by Dina Cohen

Non-Fat Middle Eastern Greens and Lentil Soup

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 21:56:34 -0400

The original recipe comes from Paula Wolfert's Mediterranean Grains and Greens cookbook. I have modified it so that it uses no oil. I have to watch my food budget, so I also use supermarket lentils instead of the imported ones, and bottled lemon juice instead of freshly squeezed. You can, of course, use Spanish pardina or Indian, Egyptian or Ethiopian lentils if you like, as well as freshly squeezed lemon juice. The Tuscan kale is very good with this dish, and you could add arugula, watercress or beet greens to the soup. This is a very light, savory and tasty soup that is much better tasting on the second day. -- posted by Chef #569171

Really Good Vegan Spinach Tofu Dip (Even if You Hate Tofu/Vegan

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 01:42:21 -0500

The olives really make this dip - don't omit them! :) I'm a diehard carnivore, but I was going to a potluck and wanted to bring a cheap, egg-free, dairy-free dish in case there were allergies or vegetarians there. I took about six recipes off the Internet, combined them and added a few more things, and it was great! I let it sit in the fridge for two days and just re-mixed it before serving. At the potluck, there was not a single vegetarian there, and they all liked this dip. Cayenne and grated carrot would probably be great in this and make it a more "traditional" spinach dip. You may want to start with less garlic if you're not a big fan. -- posted by MerBot

Spicy Spinach and Chickpea Curry Soup With Couscous

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:08:34 -0500

I created this recipe as a healthy, low fat meal for my vegetarian husband and I. Not only does the spinach and chickpeas provide vital vitamins and minerals, the chickpeas are good source of veggie protein. Serving this over a bed of couscous makes this a complete Moroccan dish. You can substitute the pre-packaged couscous if you like, though I prefer to buy it in the bulk containers and measure out the amount I want to use. This would be delicious with a dollop of light plain yogurt on top to temper the spice. Enjoy! -- posted by BetteDavisLies

Artichoke Heart Salad

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 21:15:15 -0500

Whoever created this recipe called it "Mushroom Toss," which I never understood, since the mushrooms are no more important than the other ingredients in this salad. So I am re-naming it after the artichokes - equally random, I suppose, but they're more interesting than the mushrooms. (FYI: ignore the ounces on the ingredient list - I have no idea how many ounces a bag of spinach weighs, but the site needs the amount to be specific, so I made it up. This goes for the jar sizes, too - just use whatever you find in the supermarket) -- posted by Kishka

This smoothie is often called a "Shrek Shake" at our house because it can have some odd colors to it. Nonetheless, everyone from the grown-ups to the baby loves it! It can be made with any kind of berry, and another kind of milk could be substituted as well, but we have a dairy allergy at our house. I have substituted kale for the spinach as well, but kale's strong flavor is a bit harder to mask and it may need a bit of sweetener if you go that route. -- posted by Chef #976904

Coconut Lime Smoothie

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:46:54 -0400

I was just wanting to try to make something new and this is what I threw together. You can't taste the spinach AT ALL. Tastes very limey - add coconut milk if you have it to balance it out if you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What's great about this pairing is that the ascorbic acid, the vitamin C, in the limes helps the body absorb the iron found in the spinach. Without vitamin C mixed with the spinach, the human body only takes 20% of the available iron in the spinach! Drink up! -- posted by ThatSouthernBelle

Vegan Amaranth With Spinach-Tomato-Mushroom Sauce

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:31:44 -0400

I have no idea where I picked up this recipe, but it's the only one I use for cooking amaranth for other people. My family, who is very much NOT vegetarian, even enjoys this dish! Feel free to tweak ingredients and let me know how it tastes! This recipe is also great for cleaning out the refrigerator. -- posted by splitendharry

Butternut Squash Coconut Curry

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:45:00 -0400

This was inspired from the lovely little butternut squashes at the Farmer's Market last week. I used my recipe: recipe #84474 as a base, switched the sweet potatoes for butternut squash, and added a can of coconut milk, and came up with this! I did take the time to toast and grind whole cumin and corriander, but feel free to use the already-ground versions of these spices as well. Also, roasting your butternut squash with some salt pepper and curry powder brings a wonderfully deep and carmelized flavor to your curry -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Gomae - Japanese Style Spinach Salad

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:18:52 -0400

This is Chef floWers version of Spinach Gomae. It's a side dish I often ordered at my favourite Japanese restaurant (before it closed down.) I found a visual version on you tube and since I couldn't find a recipe on www.recipezaar.com I thought I would add it to Zaar's collection. We all love this salad and my daughter can eat the whole serving (if I let her). I often double the recipe, so she can have extra greens, well it worked for Popeye The Sailor Man.

Greenfield Village Dandelion Soup

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:10:03 -0400

This soup is served at the Taste of History restaurant at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. I found this recipe on a recipe card on display inside the restaurant. You can substitute spinach for the dandelion greens if they are not available. I usually add more vegetable stock (about 2 to 4 cups) and more corn. Dried herbs can substitute for the fresh--use 4 teaspoons dried basil and 2 teaspoons dried oregano. -- posted by doobtones #2

Sneaky Chef Green Juice

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:48:00 -0500

This can be used to boost nutritional value for lots of recipes! Use in chocolate pudding, milk shakes, green icings, casseroles, etc. Green juice is an extremely nutrient dense food. One tablespoon is equivalent to eating 1/4 cup of spinach leaves. It contains iron, calcium, and enzymes for digestion, as well as chlorophyll and carotens for disease fighting power. And just think, your kids, husband, guests, etc. won't even know! :) This recipe was gleaned from The Sneaky Chef cookbook by Missy Chase Lapine. -- posted by Sharon123

Vegan Spinach-Mushroom Quiche

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:56:11 -0500

My friends and family are always getting on me to publish my recipes; I don't really use them, nor do I regularly remember even what I put into my dishes. I took this dish to a vegan potluck last night, and it disappeared in seconds. This morning I was awoken at gun point (exaggerated for dramatic effect) to post this recipe.... So, I thought it wise of me to comply. This recipe takes me about an hour of prep time, and about an hour to cook. There are shortcuts one may take to cut down on the prep time, but the first time, I suggest leaving ample time to prepare. I have used a variety of nuts for this recipe, all working out well (this last time I ran out of sesame seeds, so I used 2 tbsp of my tamari roasted pumpkin seeds, and 1 tbsp of raw pecans). I also like to make my dishes gluten free for potlucks, so I used ½ cup of blue corn meal, and ½ garbanzo flour in place of the whole wheat pastry flour, the taste was amazing, but a little more crumbly then whole wheat pastry flower. Finally, I really recommend using sesame oil, but realizing it is expensive, olive oil will work. -- posted by Starvin' Vegan
