I love to eat spinach whether it be in a salad raw or cooked in a curry or dhal or stuffed like this recipe here.
My stuffed spinach recipe is very easy to make, once you have cooked the filling the stuffing of the spinach and further cooking is simple and takes no time at all. Spinach cooks very quickly so there is not much waiting for the finished dish once you have stuffed the spinach.
I use a spiced lamb mince filling and serve it with freshly cooked Basmati rice, it tastes wonderful with but you can serve this with potatoes or side of your choice.
