Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- 3. Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat.
- 4. When the butter melts, add the shallots and garlic, and cook in for 1 minute.
- 5. Add the defrosted spinach to the skillet, sprinkle on a bit of salt and pepper, to taste, and allow to cook for 3 - 5 minutes.
- 6. Evenly dollop on the goat cheese, and then cover and reduce the heat to medium low, for about 3 minutes.
- 7. Chef's Tip: One of the tricks is to not stir the goat cheese into the spinach; leave it in nice soft dollops. When you stir it into the spinach, it really diminishes the distinct flavor notes of the cheese and spinach.
- 8. Chef's Tip: Goat cheese comes in creamy or crumbled; in addition, some have spices infused into them. For this recipe, I choose creamy/plain goat cheese; however, you may wish to experiment with other types... Just for the fun of it.
- 9. Remove the cover, and drizzle on the lemon juice.
- 10. Chef's Note: And if you are feeling particularly randy, sprinkle on some freshly toasted pine nuts.
- 11. PLATE/PRESENT
- 12. Serve as a side with beef, pork, chicken or fish. Enjoy.
- 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
