Andalusian Spinach image

A terrific side dish to serve with ham or roast chicken. This comes from chefs Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand but I found it in the Chicago Tribune some years ago. It's quite spicy so if you do not care for garlic, cumin or paprika please keep looking for a recipe that would suit you better than this one does :)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs fresh spinach
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled

This Andalusian spinach was a bit of a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the texture was mushy. I think I may have overcooked the spinach, but even so, I don't think this recipe is worth repeating.

This Andalusian spinach was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more garlic and paprika.
