This was so good, I cooked it again Saturday night using the tenderloins I found in the freezer. They were really good too. I think this may become a staple at our place.

Today I bought a packet of Warrigal/nz spinach seeds from Diggers at Dromana – 20 seeds for $2.50 I think.
Can’t wait to try growing and eating this – sounds great.

Hey! I’ve just discovered it’s also called Bower Spinach too. Being as how that’s my surname, that’s what I’ll call it from now on.

Mindy – it’s apparently got some oxalates in it – concentrations vary with conditions (soil moisture basically) and age of the particular leaves eaten (as you’d expect). But as long as your neighbours’ hosses are well nourished and not eating lots of it, I doubt you’d have a problem.

Looks like varieties are pretty various within the species too – lots of pics on the net are of much fleshier, shinier leaves than our plant.

The Lady Friend did a lasagne tricolore last night with a layer of sauteed mushrooms, one of tomato and basil, and one of wilted Bower spinach and toasted almonds. Freaking supoib.

My chicken is marinating in the fridge right now. Looking forward to this tonight. Have to remember the yoghurt though.

Is NZ spinach safe for horses? I like the idea of an edible fire break, but if it’s going to poison the neighbours horses they might have some unkind words to say.
