Sauteing spinach is a solid move! You could also try squeezing excess water out with a cheesecloth or paper towels before using it in your recipes. That should help keep your dips and stuffing nice and thick.Hey folks, struggling with watery spinach for my dishes. I've started sautéing it first to reduce moisture before adding to recipes. Does anyone have tips or techniques to make spinach less watery, especially for dips or stuffing?

Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to wring out that water next time or dial back on the liquid when sautéing.

Perhaps adding acidic ingredients like lemon juice 
or vinegar to cooked spinach can help mitigate its watery texture.

Sprinkling a bit of lemon juice or vinegar over cooked spinach could indeed help cut through its watery consistency, enhancing the flavor too!

One trick I use to make spinach less watery is to sauté it in a skillet over medium heat. This helps evaporate some of the excess moisture.
Ah, that's a nifty trick! Sautéing spinach really does wonders for reducing its water content, doesn't it?

Give those spinach leaves a little spa treatment - a quick sauté or a gentle squeeze with paper towels before cooking can help wring out that excess water and leave you with a perfectly crisp and tasty green delight!
