Growing up, my mother would do her best to make dishes that were wholesome for our family. One of the ways that she would make us eat your greens was by putting spinach in plenty of our foods. Like most children, my brothers and I weren’t fans of spinach, let alone a stew made of spinach. However, as we grew, we appreciated this iron-dense meal more and more, and now I make it when I am feeling under the weather to give me a little boost.
