Tart Spinach Sundried Tomato Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Remove from heat. Place the sun-dried tomatoes in the broth 15 minutes, or until softened. Drain, reserving broth, and coarsely chop.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place penne pasta in the pot, cook 9 to 12 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• Place the pine nuts in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until lightly toasted.
• Heat the olive oil and red pepper flakes in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the garlic 1 minute, until tender. Mix in the spinach, and cook until almost wilted. Pour in the reserved broth, and stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Continue cooking 2 minutes, or until heated through.
• In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the spinach and tomato mixture and pine nuts. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Put the spinach into a large pan. Pour over a couple tbsp water, then cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve, leave to cool a little, then squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop. Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into a bowl along with the spinach, feta and eggs. Mix well.
• Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loosebottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch up and make sure the filling is covered. Brush with a little more oil.
• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook the pie for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Remove from the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve with salad.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven 375° and spray pie pan with cooking spray. Unfold pie crust and place in pan. With a fork prick crust, then line crust with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 - 15 minutes. Once done remove from oven, then remove dried beans and parchment paper.
• 2. Brush pie crust with olive oil and line the bottom of crust with mozzarella slices, then place spinach leafs on top. Season with MRS Dash, then arrange slice tomatoes on top of the spinach. Sprinkle oregano and parmesan cheese on top, bake for about 30 - 35 minutes. Serve hot or room temperature.
• 3. Note: If cheese exudes some liquid while baking, tilt the pan and spoon it off to keep the pie crust from becoming soggy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 °C.
• Grease a 22 cm pie dish.
• Place spinach, onion and cheese into the pie dish.
• Combine remaining ingredients and pour into pie dish.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until set.
