Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli
Fresh egg pasta filled with ricotta, spinach, Parmesan and nutmeg, cut into squares and served the northern Italian way, in butter foaming with sage leaves.
Japchae (Korean Glass Noodles)
A Korean party and holiday dish: chewy sweet-potato glass noodles tossed with beef, spinach, mushrooms, carrot and pepper, each cooked separately, in a sweet soy and sesame dressing, served warm or at room temperature.
Goma-ae
The Japanese side dish of blanched spinach in a sweet, nutty dressing of freshly toasted and ground sesame seeds with soy sauce and sugar; small, quick and served cold or at room temperature.
Pkhali
Georgian vegetable pâté — blanched spinach pounded with walnuts, garlic, coriander and blue fenugreek, shaped into balls and studded with pomegranate seeds; served cold among the starters of a Georgian feast.
Spinach and Artichoke Dip
The American game-day dip — spinach and artichoke hearts baked in cream cheese, soured cream, mozzarella and Parmesan until bubbling and browned, scooped up hot with tortilla chips or toasted baguette.
Buddha Bowl
A one-bowl meal built in sections — quinoa, spice-roasted sweet potato and chickpeas, raw red cabbage, carrot, spinach and avocado — pulled together by a lemon and garlic tahini dressing.
Spinach with Rice
Fresh spinach wilted into rice with spring onion and dill, served with a spoonful of garlicky yoghurt — the Bulgarian home dish cooked as soon as the first tender spinach reaches the market.
Bulgarian Spinach Soup
A Bulgarian spinach and rice soup for the fasting days, soured with lemon instead of the egg-and-yoghurt liaison of the everyday version — light, green and on the table in under an hour.
Gözleme (Spinach and Cheese Flatbread)
Turkish village flatbread — paper-thin unleavened dough folded around spinach, white cheese and spring onion, cooked on a dry griddle until blistered and brushed with butter while still hot.
Spanakopita
The Greek spinach pie — layers of olive-oiled filo around a filling of spinach, feta, spring onion and dill, baked until the top shatters. Squeezing the spinach dry is what keeps the base crisp.
