oh gosh here is a recipe for one way with spinach. It's my recipe too.
Spiced Lentils w/Spinach
1 cup petite lentils, or standard ones but it’ll take longer
2-1/2 c. broth
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 clove garlic minced
Small onion, couple carrots, 2 inner stalks celery, all chopped
½ tea. Allspice, cumin, corriander
1/4 tea cinnamon
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/8 tea cayanne and tumeric
Juice of ½ lemon
Pinch of sugar
Small box of chopped spinach, thawed
1. Sauté Onion, garlic, carrots, celery for a few minutes.
2. Throw everything in the crockpot cook low 8 hours, high 4 hours until lentils and carrots are done. Of course, can be simmered on top of stove too. Serve over brown rice
I’ve been enjoying it without the rice too. Really I think I like it better without the rice.
Now, yes, I eat a salad each day, and it usually has spinach along with leaf and romaine.
Frozen spinach, I like it the way it is. There is one brand, called Allen's which has my man Popeye on it. I get it at a market called Harris Teeters. That is the best frozen spinach I've ever had. It's so fresh tasting. Heck I pinch and snack on it. But really I throw it on my taters and under a rice dish. But try that recipe, and don't skip any ingredients. It's not hot.
