Side Dish Recipe: Sauteed Spinach and Garlic
by carl on Jan.21, 2009, under Cooking, recipes
I have a great love for organic spinach leaves…they make great salads, and additions to my various incarnations of spaghetti. I long ago ate at an Italian themed restaurant (which has been absorbed into a vile food chain; okay, it was Macaroni’s Bar and Grill…please don’t eat there) that featured sauteed spinach and garlic as a side dish, and recently I was inspired to recreate the dish at home. Without mincing words, this turned out just fine. It makes a nice accompaniment to barbaqued salmon, or a pasta with red sauce, or any number of other dishes. Here’s how you do it:
6-10 approximately, garlic cloves (I buy mine peeled and in bulk from Costco)
a big handful of spinach (it shrinks more than you think so use a lot)
olive oil
sea salt
parmesan cheese
Saute the garlic cloves in a bit of olive oil, until brown. Toss in the spinach and saute that too (spinach takes about a minute). Remove from skillet, add some sea salt and the cheese. Serve.
