Glut of spinach and mint.

[milkmoustache]

My lovely neighbours have just given me a massive bag of mint, and an even bigger one of spinach. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed - I could make spinach pie, but I am the only one who really likes it, and it's a bit chilly for a mint julep!
Please share your brilliant ideas, any freezable options would be great.

Curry! Saag type recipes with the spinach and a nice cooling mint and cucumber yoghurt dip on the side.

Mint tea

Eggs florentine with the spinach

Spinach soup with cream

Chickpea and spinach stew

Spinach tomato and mushroom frittata

Mushroom and spinach risotto

Or Use the spinach in a salad.

No ideas for the mint because I hate it sorry!

Shove spinach in a curry. Eat it sautéed with cream with steak. Have eggs florentine.

Drink the mint as fresh mint tea.

I make big batches of this and freeze it in portions. It's dead easy and delicious.

Thanks everyone! Great ideas here. I had forgotten just how deeply DS hates spinach, so the feta and spinach filo pie I served up was greeted with great dismay... Luckily DD loves Indian veggie food so we will be having a lot of that...

Some of the mint could go into instant pea soup.

For each serving, put 100g of frozen peas into a blender, ~1/2 tsp veg. Stock powder, quite a few mint leaves, some chives if you have them, and 150ml boiling water. Leave 5mins or so for the peas to thaw and blend, season to taste. Chill or heat.

Beetroot and mint dip is epic.

Mojito or fresh mint tea

try this curry. even better with left over roast chicken

I also make a pesto with spinach- you could add a bit of the mint to it too
