Freezing New Zealand Spinach

1. Pick a big bowl of spinach.

"Big bowl, maybe," says Virginia, "but not a big bowl of spinach."

She can be so critical. It was a big bowl of spinach until I emptied half of it.

2. Heat olive oil in a saucepan and toss in the spinach.

3. Cook and stir constantly.

4. Cook down to dark green, then cool in a colander.

5. Stuff in a plastic bag or box and freeze.
