Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (6 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Lemon
Sea or kosher salt, optional

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.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 small tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash and dry spinach and remove stems.
  • Using half the ingredients and working in batches, heat olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Saute garlic about one minute. Add spinach leaves, increase heat to high, and stir until evenly wilted, about 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and tomatoes. Cook an additional minute. Stir in grated Parmesan, remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately. If spinach releases too much water, you can drain mixture in a colander before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings again after draining.

CREAMY SAUTEED SPINACH WITH GARLIC AND CHEESE



Creamy Sauteed Spinach With Garlic and Cheese image

I love sauteed spinach with garlic, and one day I got creative and threw in some shredded cheddar cheese (Tilamook is the best). Yum! Yum! What a delightful treat my surprise turned out to be! :-) This may even appeal to non-spinach lovers because of the wonderful cheesy taste it brings. Please note that, when you first start to saute the spinach leaves, it will appear to be too much spinach, but once it begins to wilt, it becomes a much smaller quanity. Best of all, this dish literally takes about 5 minutes to throw together!

SAUTE SPINACH WITH GARLIC



Saute Spinach with Garlic image

Recipe from Martha Stewart. I am not an avid Martha fan, but this spinach dish is fragrant with garlic, but without the fat, and easy. I think it's better than spinach salad because you don't even have to dry them and comparing with with the calories you get with salad dressing, this "sauted" spinach is practically calorie-free!
