Pkeila is a signature dish of Tunisian Jewish cuisine. This stew features spinach that’s been slowly cooked until caramelized, then simmered with meat and white beans. A true delicacy for those who love it, don’t be put off by its distinctive dark color - this is a dish that wins hearts.

This fava bean and spinach soup is a silky smooth velouté that offers a refreshing change from typical soup flavors. A simple recipe for rainy winter days.

For a change from Bolognese lasagna, I’m sharing another Italian classic with a ricotta spinach filling baked with béchamel. A comforting family dish, best served with a fresh mixed greens salad for a touch of lightness.

I’ve already introduced you to conchiglioni in this recipe for mushroom conchiglioni gratin with béchamel. For those unfamiliar with them, these are large shell-shaped pasta meant to be stuffed. This time I’m sharing a red sauce version where the conchiglioni are filled with ricotta and spinach and baked until golden.

A complete meal that’s quick and endlessly adaptable. At home, I make a tart or quiche once a week. Serve with a fresh salad!
