Spicy Garlic Sauteed Spinach Recipes

SPICY SAUTéED SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, chiles, garlic, and mustard seeds. Cook, stirring often, until garlic begins to brown and mustard seeds pop, about 1 minute. Add spinach to skillet by the handful, allowing it to wilt between additions. Cook, tossing often, until spinach is tender, 5-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

GARLIC SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Cut the thickest stems off the greens and rinse the leaves well in the sink using lots of fresh water.
• Add the spinach in the water and blanch them, stirring continuously for about 1 minute, then strain them and rinse immediately with cold water so they stop cooking.
• When the greens are cool enough to handle, squeeze all the water out of them and lay them on a cutting board where you'll randomly chop them in big sections.
• In a large pan, over a medium-high heat, quickly saute the garlic in a couple of tablespoons olive oil, then add the greens. Quickly toss around the greens, adding a sprinkle more olive oil, if needed.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve it up! You want to preserve the crunchy bite of the fresh vegetable.

GARLIC SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
• In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

SPICY SAUTéED SPINACH

• Spray the same pan in which the bacon was cooked with nonstick cooking spray.
• Sauté onion and garlic until tender.
• Add frozen spinach and continue cooking until spinach is thawed.
• Add crumbled bacon bits, nutmeg, dill, black pepper, and salt to taste.
• Continue cooking until most of the moisture from the spinach has evaporated.
• Serve alone, as a side, inside an omelet, or use it to make a quiche.

SPICY SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Wash spinach well in several changes of cold water and remove the stems.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large saucepan, saute the onion until golden, then stir in the garlic and ginger, and saute for an additional 1 or 2 minutes.
• Add the seeds, ground spices and salt and mix well.
• Toss in the spinach with only the water that remains on the leaves after washing.
• Heat very low and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until the spinach is cooked (it may be necessary to add a little more water to prevent spinach sticking to pan).
