Ingredients

  • 1-2 bunches spinach or more or baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water about 2cm (1in) deep to a rolling boil.

  3. Add sliced leaves to the pot and recover. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the leaves are wilted,

  4. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to cool and stop the cooking process. Squeeze as much water out as possible. Roll into golf ball shapes and place on a plate (or pack into ice cube trays).
