Garlic Spinach Recipe 445

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.

Steps:

• In a 5qt Dutch oven, bring spinach, broth and carrots to a boil.
• Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from the heat; cool to luke-warm.
• Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter until onion is soft,about 5-10 minutes.
• Add flour; cook and stir over low heat for 3-5 minutes.
• Add to spinach mixture.
• Puree in small batches in a blender or food processor until finely chopped.
• Place in a large saucepan.
• Add cream, milk, and pepper, heat through but do not boil.

Steps:

• Wash the spinach thoroughly and cram into a large pan. Pour over a little boiling water, cover tightly and cook for 2-3 mins, until the leaves have wilted.
• Tip into a colander and drain well. Use the side of a small plate to press the spinach down to extract the last of the water. If using frozen, defrost in the microwave and drain.
• Meanwhile heat the oil, add the pine nuts and fry until golden. Add the garlic and fry briefly, then stir in the spinach and stir until heated through. Season and serve in a warm side dish.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to paper towels; reserve. Discard oil.
• Spray pan with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Coarsely chop the spinach and stalks. Working in batches, add the damp spinach to the pan. Cover, and cook until spinach just begins to wilt, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked spinach to a metal bowl, and cook the remaining spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the reserved garlic over spinach, and serve warm with a wedge of fresh lemon.

Steps:

• Rinse spinach well in cold water; dry well.
• In a large pot, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for 1 minute.
• Add all the spinach, salt, and pepper to the pot; toss with the garlic and oil.
