Freezer Stories, Part I

I’ve decided to start a little series on things I always keep in my freezer, no matter what. Here is part one: frozen spinach, in cubes.

As I work my way through my freezer series, you’ll see how many of the items I keep go together – for instance, this frozen spinach goes particularly well with the puff pastry that is also a compulsory staple.

Frozen spinach can be mixed in with scrambled eggs, stirred through a soup, creamed with some garlic Hungarian style or wrapped in puff pastry with some feta or ricotta to make tasty triangles for a snack or starter. You can even use some Indian spices and potato and make an Aloo Palak curry, which is one of my favourites.

To use this stuff, you just defrost it naturally or in the microwave and then press all the water out of it and drain. Easy.
