Add a fresh green twist to fakeaway favourites with cavolo nero, kale and spinach

From fragrant curries and sizzling stir-fries, to loaded nachos and tempting rice dishes, fakeaway favourites are a delicious way to bring flavour, creativity and inspiration to midweek mealtimes.

Dark leafy greens such as cavolo nero, kale and spinach can take centre stage in a variety of fakeaway-style dishes, adding freshness, colour and texture to home-cooked meals inspired by cuisines from around the world. Paired with warming spices and rich sauces, they work beautifully in recipes such as Japanese-Style Sweet & Spicy Vegetable Curry, Egg Fried Rice with Cavolo Nero & Prawns, Mexican-Style Bean Spinach and Nacho Crumble and Chicken and Lentil Madras.

As well as being tasty and easy to use, these greens can also support a healthy, balanced diet. Cavolo nero and kale are natural sources of fibre and contain vitamins A, C and K, as well as folate, while spinach is rich in folate and a source of vitamins A and C.
