BOUCHON'S SAUTéED SPINACH WITH GARLIC CONFIT



Bouchon's Sautéed Spinach With Garlic Confit image

Thomas Keller's elegant take on this traditional vegetable. You'll have more garlic confit than you need for this recipe, but it's not hard to find ways to use it--and it will keep in the fridge for about a month.

Categories     Spinach

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup peeled garlic clove (about 45 cloves)
1 cup canola oil (or enough to cover the garlic)
1 lb spinach (preferably baby spinach, or 2 10-ounce bags)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup shallot, minced
8 garlic cloves, confit
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the confit.
  • Cut off and discard the root ends of the garlic cloves. Place the cloves in a small saucepan, and add enough oil to cover them by about 1 inch. None of the garlic cloves should be poking through the oil.
  • Place the saucepan over low heat. The cloves should cook gently: very small bubbles will come up through the oil, but the bubbles should not break the surface.
  • Adjust the heat as necessary and move the pan to one side if it is cooking too quickly.
  • Cook the garlic for about 40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until the cloves are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the garlic to cool in the oil.
  • Refrigerate the garlic, submerged in the oil, for up to a month.
  • For the spinach.
  • If using large-leaf spinach, remove the thick stems and wash the leaves. Wash the baby spinach.
  • Melt the butter in the largest skillet you have over medium-low heat.
  • Add the shallots and sauté gently for 1 minute.
  • Add the garlic confit and only as much spinach as will fit in the skillet, sprinkle with one-half teaspoons salt and a pinch of pepper, or to taste, and use tongs to turn the spinach in the butter.
  • As the spinach wilts, continue to add handfuls of spinach from time to time and season additionally as needed.
  • Do not overcook: the spinach is done when it is wilted and tender but still bright green. Serve immediately.

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH GARLIC



Sauteed Spinach with Garlic image

Sauteed spinach accented with garlic makes an excellent side dish for meaty main dishes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
2 pounds fresh spinach, washed and leaves damp
Olive-oil cooking spray
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to paper towels; reserve. Discard oil.
  • Spray pan with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Coarsely chop the spinach and stalks. Working in batches, add the damp spinach to the pan. Cover, and cook until spinach just begins to wilt, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked spinach to a metal bowl, and cook the remaining spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the reserved garlic over spinach, and serve warm with a wedge of fresh lemon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spinach: Baby spinach or young spinach leaves are the most tender and flavorful for sautéing.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Make sure to rinse the spinach well under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Use a large skillet: This will help to prevent the spinach from overcrowding and wilting.
  • Cook the spinach in batches: If you have a lot of spinach, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so only cook it for a few minutes until it is just wilted.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed spinach is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Sautéed spinach with garlic confit is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. By following these tips, you can make sure that your sautéed spinach is perfectly cooked and flavorful.
