Let's discuss spinach: When preparing creamed or any other

I just steam it. Better than boiling in taste and nutrition.

A bag of that Popeye brand spinach is like a buck fifty it's great

Why not just eat it as a salad then? Do people actually boil it?
One of my favorite salads is spinach, a little parm cheese, and whatever veggies I have fresh. Mostly cucumber, tomato, green onion, and the occasional beet. Dressing is a 2.5:1 olive oil:lemon juice mix with S&P and a crushed clove of garlic allowed to soak in it.

I buy frozen spinach for quesadillas all the time.

I can't tell the difference between fresh/frozen once it's cooked.

frozen is inferior in taste and texture

Cooking baby spinach is a waste, its too expensive and too much work, while loosing all of its pro's during cooking.

Fresh spinach is not an expensive vegetable, if it is where you are shopping maybe look into another market.

>cook meat in pan
>put cooked meat on plate and cover to let rest
>turn off heat and throw a hand full of spinach leaves in pan to sauté in remaining oil and soak up delicious flavours while deglazing the pan
Every time.

>I doubt texture will be much different but taste may.

Uhm, I find it's the other way around. Taste is ok, but texture is so poor that I prefer the fresh one.

What do you put in the quesadillas? (besides spinach)

Just cheese and spinach usually. Chicken if I'm not feeling lazy.

this is a good idea. for people who eat meat. would work especially well if you were using mushroom or red wine in that cook.

I've never before purchased frozen spinach, but I do make a few dishes based on puréed spinach or spinach that has otherwise lost all of its former form, so I guess frozen would be fine for that.
As I've never had it, how does it compare, as far as taste is concerned, withi fresh spinach?

>creamed spinach
wtf man
anyway, i'll eat fresh, frozen or canned. for some reason i like canned spinach the most. as soon as it starts to boil i turn it off.

I never cook it.

I just wash it, maybe shock it and then eat.

Most times I've had it, I don't like the texture of cooked spinach and prefer the fresher taste.

Frozen, I dunno.
I run out of spinach, I go get more, fresh isn't expensive, I'm pretty poor and I eat fresh only.

Frozen spinach is gross. My go to spinach preparation:

Put spinach in pan without oil (covered at the start, then uncovered when it's heated) on full heat.
Stir until desired level of wilt.
Drain water using a colander/sieve and wooden spoon.
Return to pan and stir in butter.

This is great on it's own but after plating you can put cheese on top, feta cheddar parm gorgonzola literally any cheese and it's fantastic
