This is a nice looking tart filled with a flavourful spinach mixture. It’s the perfect choice for your vegetarian friends and family. Also, considering the many meat-filled dishes on our traditional Christmas menu, this spinach tart gives us a good dose of healthy and low-fat food around this time of the year.

Spring is upon us and this is the best time to harvest and eat Nettle. Yes, nettles, those plants covered with tiny stinging hairs that produce an intense, stinging pain… ouch! Creamed nettles are a very popular and healthy dish during spring time in Romania. Nettles have the richest taste and are full of vitamins A, C and D, and minerals Iron, Potassium, Calcium and Manganese. Since in downtown Toronto would be kind of hard to find nettles growing wild 
and you can’t really find them at the grocery stores, I have decided to substitute nettles for spinach which is quite delicious and healthy as well. BTW I despised this kind of food as a kid or, better said, anything that looked green. This is a classic recipe that is extremely easy to make. We usually eat this with sunny side up eggs and polenta and believe me, this combination makes for a really filling and nutritious meal.
