Pan Fried Spinach Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until evenly brown and crisp. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
• Melt the butter and heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Mix in the crumbled bacon, garlic, and onion. Cook and stir 2 minutes, then mix in the spinach until evenly coated with the butter and oil. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook 5 minutes, stirring often, or until spinach is tender. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops bubbling. This allows the water from the butter to evaporate. Add the garlic; cook and stir for about 2 minutes, until it is just beginning to brown. Put in the spinach leaves and cook for about 5 minutes while stirring, until the leaves are dark and are about 1/4 of their original size.

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 large heavy saucepan or deep-fat fryer, heat 3 or 4 inches of oil to 350/F. Preheat the oven to very low and put a paper towel-lined roasting pan in it to warm. Standing well away from the top of the pot in case the oil spatters, take a handful of leaves at a time and throw them into the hot oil for about 30 seconds, or until crisp and bright green. Remove with a skimmer or tongs to the towel-lined pan and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Fry the remaining spinach in the same way. (The spinach can be kept at room temperature after frying for up to 2 hours, then reheated in a low oven just before serving.)

Steps:

• In a large skillet, bring 1 cup water to a simmer over medium heat.
• Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes; drain, rinse until cool, then squeeze dry.
• Chop and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Using the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil the onion & crushed red pepper flakes (if using) and cook, stirring, over medium high heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir into the spinach, along with the cream cheese, parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Lay 12 wonton wrappers on a work surface; place 1 tablespoon of the spinach filling in the center of each.
• Working with 1 at a time, moisten the edges with water and lay another wrapper on top; seal the edges, pressing out any air.
• Repeat with the remaining wrappers and spinach filling.
• Using the same skillet, bring 3/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt to a boil.
• Add 12 ravioli, cover and cook until tender, about 3 minutes; transfer to a platter.
• Repeat with the remaining ravioli, 2 tablespoons olive oil, more water and another pinch of salt.
• Spoon the tomato sauce over the ravioli and sprinkle with parsley and parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium. Add pancetta; cook until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate; reserve fat in skillet.
• Add as much spinach as will fit in skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing spinach and adding more as it wilts. Continue to cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and pour off excess liquid; stir in lemon juice. Top with pancetta.

Steps:

• Put cornmeal on a large plate. Lightly pat fish with paper towels and season with salt and pepper, then coat fillet well with cornmeal.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté one third of spinach, stirring constantly, until slightly wilted but still bright green, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer cooked spinach to a bowl. Sauté remaining spinach with remaining oil in same manner. Season with salt.
• Wipe skillet with a paper towel, then heat 2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat until foam subsides. Increase heat to moderately high and sauté two fillets, skin sides down first, turning once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes (do not clean skillet). Repeat with remaining butter and fillets, then reserve browned butter in skillet.
• Divide spinach among plates and top with pine nuts and fish, then drizzle fish with browned butter.
