Spinach purée

Side Serves 6 15 min

This quick vegetarian side is great with anything from grilled fish to lamb, rabbit or halloumi cut into slices and griddled. You'll need to add more spinach to your box for this, as you need quite a lot. For a less tangy finish try using ricotta instead of crème fraîche, or for a lighter one, replace it with yoghurt.
