Five-a-day portion sizes: Spinach

Portion size spinach
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating
If you're cooking with spinach, because of how much it wilts when heated, you only need two heaped tablespoons to make up one portion, as opposed to the standard three. If you're not sure of how best to fit it into your diet, or how to disguise it enough so that your kids will eat it, we've got a few ideas that may help:
Mushroom, pesto and spinach lasagne
Spinach and pine nut gnocchi
Chorizo and potato spinach bake
Goat's cheese and spinach pizza
Chickpea and spinach curry
Creamy smoked haddock and spinach pie

Next portion: Peas
