This year we are growing a different Spinach. It is a spinach called Lazio (was it selected by Phil because it sounded like an Itallian football team?) and this is THE ONE! Phil is always very reluctant to grow vegetables that he does not like to eat, even when he knows that other people love them. Last year's spinach, though popular with our customers did not get Phil's seal of approval, who just had one reluctant mouthful. But this years Lazio could have changed all this. Reduced with a small knob of butter and a splash of Shoyu Soy sauce, and he ate the whole serving without flinching. Dear reader. You probably don't realise how significant this is. I have spent fifteen years trying to get Phil to 'eat his greens'...well actually to try and tempt him with the delights that is Spinach and FINALLY he likes it!!This Lazio is gorgeous. I want to eat this every day now, I cant get enough of it.
Click here for a load of spinach recipies. Though I will be experimenting with Saag Paneer later this week.
