About This Recipe
Greens are nature's superfoods packed with a whole host of vitamins and minerals. Here Jason shows how to pre-blanche and store them, ready for quick use during the week. In the video, Jason uses spinach, leeks and cavolo nero – a relation of kale. The choice of which to use is yours. We recommend looking for those that are grown locally and in season. There's always a fantastic choice on offer at your local grocers, farmer's market and increasingly at supermarkets.
