Puree Spinach [Zepinar]

Little Mr or Miss Popeye!! We will eat spinach today…

My daughter is not a big fan of spinach puree but I thought I’ll still share you the recipe as every child has different taste.

As I already made the spinach, I used them in small quantities by adding an apple to it to bring some softness or another vegetable like carrot. It cuts down that iron-y taste. Also a great way to have spinach is adding them to black lentils.

I showed the steam method for the spinach but an interesting method is to do a sauté in a little olive oil 🙂 Works better than steam according to me.
