*COOKING AND CHOPPING SPINACH
Rinse the spinach under cold running water. Remove the central stem and any thick veins.
Place the leaves in a baking bag with a teaspoon of water, fold over the bag (don’t knot it) and place it in the microwave oven with the opening underneath. Cook for 5 minutes on high. Empty the spinach out the bag and let it cool. Squeeze the spinach tightly to drain any excess moisture and then slice the bundles with a sharp knife. Place the sliced spinach in a food processor and process until very finely chopped. This prevents any long, stringy pieces of spinach.
