Top tip
Tip: Woody herbs, such as rosemary and thyme, should be added prior to cooking, while more tender herbs, such as parsley or basil, should be stirred in when the spinach or arugula is added. (Discard any woody stems from tougher herbs before serving. Tying the stems together prior to cooking with cooking twine makes this super easy).
