Toni, what is the best way to cook baby spinach? I'm trying to incorporate it into my diet. It shrinks up so much! How much should it cook and keep it's nutrients? Like it's already small leaves but how much smaller is done? I know steaming is the best and I've cooked them in a pan after I take the salmon out so there is a little EVOO, a tad butter, some melted salmon fat and all my seasonings which flavor it nicely b/c I don't like the taste. I get rid of most the fat. I use Old Bay Seasoning, Tarragon (never enough LOL!), and garlic w/ parsley. I think I've been over cooking it both ways. A big tub shrinks to almost nothing and 1/2 of it is about 17 calories not counting any fat it's cooked in. We've even pressure cooked it in our InstaPot. I didn't think something that delicate should be pressure cooked but they had us put 2 cups (was too much) of water and then it sat on a steamer thing. MMMmmmm.
Thanks and take care, Sunnyflower
