This spinach is named after my husband. His mother taught him how to make it and he has been making it this way for years, it is our families favourite way to eat English Spinach. Although I know how to make it, I find it always tastes better when he makes it-it means less work for me, as we usually have it with BBQ fish, so I get a night off cooking when he makes it, as he does the BBQ also.
I am lucky that my husband enjoys cooking also. Quite often, weekends especially, he is in the kitchen with me and we cook together. He is the no measure just throw it in kind of a cook, I'm a recipe kind of a gal, so when he cooks something it can always be interesting trying to remake it.
This goes extremely well with fish. But it also is great with meat, particularly beef and lamb.
When I say 1 bag of spinach, I mean a fruit shop sized bag-the ones you tear off. Fill it up until it is full.
