A bag of spinach is currently £1 in our local Sainsburys, and it’s remarkably versatile. Tonight, we shall be having half a bag with some mushroooms fried up in Indian spices, one of our stalwarts. The other half a bag was left over from the lasagne we had on Wednesday.

Spinach is delicious thinly sliced into an omelette, or stirred into pasta and and feta, or made into a salad (if you must; I don’t really see the point of salad, to be honest). Make your own sag aloo – it’s dead simple. Add spinach to a chickpea curry. Be adventurous!

It’s cheap, nutritious, packed with iron – what’s not to like?
