Sarson Ka Saag (Punjabi Style Spinach)

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:46:42 -0500

This recipe is from the Punjab region of India. This dish of mustard greens is traditionally simmered and slow cooked over coals, along with rajma, kali ma or lentils, and served in dhabas (roadside stalls), which many say have the best food in Northern India. The dishes are served with unleavened bread of cornmeal (Makki Ki Roti) or wheat and a dollop of butter or with steamed basmati rice. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Speedy Soy Spinach

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:09:24 -0500

A fast and healthy vegetable side dish with an Asian aroma. This basic recipe works well with most green vegetables. You could try blanching broccoli, asparagus or beans until just tender, then cooking as above. Great served with chicken or grills. -- posted by English_Rose

Spinach Tart

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:32:50 -0400

This recipe has earned a gold star in my personal cookbook. Not only is it a vegetable dish that most people seem to like, it travels well in a cooler, it can be served cold, and it's tidy enough to be eaten without utensils. Best of all, with a couple of changes it becomes incredibly easy to make and still retains its medieval flavor. Since beet leaves aren't available at the local grocery, I normally use only spinach. -- posted by Wylder

Scarsdale Spinach Spread

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 03:01:36 -0400

Wheatberry Salad

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:23:18 -0400

Wheatberries can be used like barley, but take longer to cook. In fact, it seems near-impossible to overcook them, so they require far less attention than other grains. I make this frequently as a school lunch for my son, and it's dead easy to cook at the same time as dinner, which is why I've included a recipe for only one serving. Apologies for the vague measurements, I eyeball everything, just as our great-grandmothers would have done. You can substitute 1/2 cup barley, but check the package for cooking directions. Also, any vegetables you prefer can be added, these are just the ones I like. -- posted by Ginsugirl

Rotoli Di Pasta or Pasta Rolls

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:28:00 -0400

Many years ago my sister and I visited Italy and spent some time with the family of a foreign exchange student Alberto who lived with my family for a year. His mother would go every day to the market to purchase fresh items and one day she made this dish for us. You must make the pasta from scratch as it isn't available commercially. Basically make a big sheet, cover it spinach and cheese, roll it up, boil, slice and serve. Beautiful to look at. -- posted by Sherri at the Beach

Pear, Spinach, Walnut & Celery Salad

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:02:38 -0400

Another healthy recipe that I have collected for my pre-summer health push. I found this in the "Healthy Eating" cookbook put out by "The Australian Woman's Weekly" I was particularly drawn to it by the dressing as it is without oil which always pushes up the calorie count a good deal. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

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

Spanish Spinach

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:58:22 -0400

Adapted from gourmet_recipes_from_around_the_world. Will be flush with spinach here in a few weeks so am looking forward to making this fresh from the garden!

You can't even taste the veggies - I promise!____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Made this today on a whim - pretty delicious for no recipe! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Remember, the citrus juice is a must with the combination of spinach so the body can absorb more of the iron available in the spinach. -- posted by ThatSouthernBelle

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:02:39 -0400

This easy and delirious dairy recipe is from "Gourmet Magazine" (April 2008). It's similar to a spanakopita. It's great served warm as a main dish, or cold, in small slices, as an appetizer. Cooks' note: Pie can be assembled (but not baked) 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. -- posted by blucoat

Roasted Leeks With Poached Eggs and Warm Spinach Salad

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:16:52 -0400

This recipe is from Vegetarian Times. I love the flavor of the roasted leeks in this. I leave out the mushrooms and use Parmesan for the cheese since I always have that in the fridge. I just toss the grated cheese with rest of the salad and top each dish with a poached egg. Serve with crusty bread with olive oil for dipping and a nice glass of white wine. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

Spinach-Filled Anatolian Flatbread or Wrap

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:53:13 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT. From Ghillie Basan's "Classic Turkish Cooking." You can roll freshly made wraps in foil and keep warm for at least 30 minutes. The flatbreads can be folded over a filling and baked, like a quesadilla. Another option: cook a bigger batch of flatbreads without filling them, piling them on a large sheet of foil and wrapping them to reheat later for serving instead of pita with dips. -- posted by KateL

Warm Mushroom & Wilted Spinach Salad

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:55:13 -0400

Growing up we used to have a salad like this all the time, and it was about the only way I would eat spinach. Still love this combination. I think this particular recipe originated from the side of a bag of mushrooms. I have tweaked it over the years because I don't like to cook the spinach, I prefer to just toss the hot hot dressing over the spinach, which just wilts it enough without cooking it. I'm always throwing bread loaf ends into the freezer, this is a good recipe to use some of them in. Toss the final salad with cheese if you like. Beware, your house will smell like vinegar!! -- posted by magpie diner

Skillet Gnocchi With Chard and White Beans

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:31:20 -0400

In this quick and easy one-skillet supper, toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it off with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette. NOTE: Look for shelf-stable gnocchi near other pasta in the Italian section of most supermarkets. I used mini potato gnocchi and arugula and it was delicious. I added the optional seasoning as my preference was a little more Italian flavor. Original recipe from EatingWell Magazine, Jan/Feb 2009. -- posted by FloridaNative

Curried Egg Salad With Caramelized Onions

Wed, 27 May 2009 22:49:22 -0400

This dish was part of a menu that Monica Bhide had where she had eighteen guests, eight different diets,- and one cook to try and please them all. Monica's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009) ." I took it as a challenge! I like to throw dinner parties and I pride myself on creating memorable meals.I wrote cookbooks, damn it. So what if the Jack Spratt nursery rhyme was coming to life in my house.(Remember Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.)" So it was with this fervor that she had a great party even though she swore that next time she was ordering pizza! AARP Magazine, May & June, 2009 edition.

Fresh Leek and Spinach Pasta

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:05:46 -0400

This is a do-it-yourself pasta sauce, which I consider really versatile. I use whatever is on hand, but my preference is to at minimum have leeks and spinach, hence the title! Add more of whatever you like, omit what you don't. Throw in something new! I'd love to hear what you think and what kinds of tweaks you make to it. <br> I'm posting the way I most recently had it, but the wild leek pesto is a rare treat, it's available to me only in the spring at the farmers' market. I usually don't add any pesto in, but now that I've tried it, I might experiment with others to see what works (arugula might be nice!) Sometimes I add tuna, or slices of the sun-dried tomato tofurky sausages for some protein. -- posted by Cyllene

Tofu & Spinach Pesto

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:12:11 -0400

Tofu and spinach... most people's reaction when they see those words is "Yuck!", but try this and see if your reaction is still the same :) This is an incredibly easy and tasty way to pack the benefits of spinach & the protein content of the tofu to picky eaters. Toss it into your pasta dish, replace tomato sauce on pizza with this, etc. My favourite way to eat is is spread on fresh bread. The measurements make it really easy to remember the recipe and you only need to use 1 measuring cup! I recommend you use firm tofu rather than silky because it is more nutritious. Make it ahead and have pesto on hand whenever you want it!!! -- posted by Burgz

Little Wild Sorrel and Herb Tarts With Melted Goat's Cheese

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:12:12 -0400

A delicious and different way to use sorrel leaves - sorrel is usually used in soup and omelette recipes. These little herb tarts are so summery and make wonderful picnic food, as well as interesting appetisers. I have wild, woodland and cultivated sorrel in my garden, but prefer the tangy almost lemon and vinegar taste of wild sorrel leaves in these little tarts. Serve these warm or at room temperature with lightly dressed salad leaves and a glass of crisp, chilled Chablis or Chardonnay. Notes on using sorrel leaves: Sorrel is one of those ingredients that feature all too rarely in our kitchens, yet its bite and acidity make it one of summer's top temptations. When you're cooking the larger, mature leaves, strip out and discard the stalks, just as you would with spinach, before cooking. Avoid aluminium or cast-iron pans, though, because the oxalic acid in the leaves reacts with the metal and affects the flavour. -- posted by French Tart

I Love Palak Paneer (Spinach and Cheese Curry)

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:08:56 -0400

This luscious spinach and cheese dish comes from Northern India, the home of paneer, a fresh cow-milk cheese similar to ricotta. It's sold near the feta and haloumi in supermarkets, either of these two cheeses can replace paneer here, but the results wont be exactly the same. When I made this, I did use a soft feta, which melted into the spinach and gave me the most creamy rich curry you can imagine. I also upped the amount of the garam masala, to give a hotter result, and I sauteed some shrimps in garlic and butter, and served them with the curry, we enjoyed an excellent meal!

Vegetable Lasagna

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:19:25 -0400

Use a mandolin slicer to get all the veggies paper thin; that way they'll melt into one another, and this whole mixture will become homogenized goodness. Don't let the bechamel intimidate you. This French Mother Sauce is an alchemy of very simple ingredients that become a tremendous sauce through the proper application of heat. Just don't blast either the flour mixture, or the milk, with heat higher than medium, and you should be good. TAKE YOUR TIME, and don't pump up the heat to speed it up. Your patience will be rewarded with a luscious velvety sauce. -- posted by Adam Hayek - Chef #1348906

A meatless main course or delicious side. Or cut in smaller slices as an appetizer. Uses humble, button mushrooms. Looks tricky, but is very simple once you have the veggies sliced. Depending on your cheese, you may want to use a different herb than basil. Note: do not try to substitute frozen spinach for fresh - it will be too wet, and make your tart soggy. -- posted by dianegrapegrower

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

Spinach in Creamy Feta Sauce

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:58:08 -0400

Greek flavor with a Southern twist. I love Southern-style creamed spinach, but I also love the combination of spinach and feta found in Greek cookery. This recipe pulls it all together. You could really dress this up by topping with buttered breadcrumbs and baking until the top is crunchy. -- posted by KissKiss

Hummus and Vegetable Focaccia Sandwich

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:51:20 -0400

The convenience store in my dorm has sandwiches similar to this one every once in a while, and on my life they are the best vegetarian sandwiches I've ever had! Even the meat-lovers I know live and die for these things. They're very easy to make, and are great served at any temperature -- so you can easily stick one in the fridge for devouring later. -- posted by Alexander Mar

Veggie Green Drink

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:19:56 -0400

I came up with this one night after a long drive from New York to Philadelphia. All I had eaten were french fries, so I was desperate to get some greens into me fast! This drink took care of the craving right away. The stevia helps to blunt the harsh taste of the veggies. If you want to make it a soup, use less water and perhaps add some spices instead of the stevia. Also, the yogurt can easily be omitted if you are vegan or have dairy issues; just use less water, -- posted by Jainene

Vegetable Soup With Chickpeas and Spinach

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:43:23 -0400

The Andalusians call this soup potaje de vigilia, or 'fasting soup.' Actually a robust soup, it is so named because it would often be eaten during the Christian Lent, due to the absence of meat. This recipe is from the vegetarian cookbook Mediterranean Harvest. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

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

Ten Mothers Garlic and Spinach Soup

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:06:17 -0500

Found this recipe on Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/ten-mothers-garlic-and-spinach-soup.html Adapted from The Roasted Vegetable, by Andrea Chesman (Harvard Common Press, 2002). This delicious broth, redolent with garlic and enriched with the vitamins and minerals of fresh spinach, takes its name from an old folk saying that garlic is as good as ten mothers. This soup is not only tasty and nourishing, it makes a comforting remedy for winter sniffles and sneezes. -- posted by SassiFras

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
