Provided by Ina Garten

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     Dinner     Lunch

Time 16m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large bunch fresh spinach
4 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
Optional: 1 red chili (sliced, or 1/3 to 3/4 teaspoon dried crushed chili flakes)
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoon oyster-flavored sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce/stir-fry sauce)
1 tablespoon fish sauce (or 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce if vegetarian)
1 tablespoon sherry (cooking sherry works well too)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Optional: 1/2 red pepper (sliced thinly)
1/4 to 1/3 cup roughly chopped peanuts or cashews (for topping)
1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a cup, stir together stock,​ oyster sauce, fish sauce, sherry, and brown sugar. Set aside. Rinse spinach and drain.
  • Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and swirl around, then add garlic and chili (if using). Stir-fry 1 minute to release the fragrance.
  • Add the red pepper (if using) and stir-fry 1 minute. Add the spinach and stir-fry briefly, until the spinach leaves are lightly covered in the oil and garlic/chile (about 30 seconds). Add the stir-fry sauce and stir-fry until spinach has cooked down to a nice dark green (stems should still be on the crisp side), about 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and taste-test, adding more fish sauce instead of salt. (If too salty or sweet, add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. More chile can be added for increased spiciness.)
  • To serve, scoop or slide spinach onto a serving plate or bowl. Top with the remaining liquid at the bottom of your wok/pan. Drizzle over the sesame oil and top with chopped nuts.
  • Serve and enjoy.

This is my version of something I had in Tanzania. It is very easy to cook but amazingly tasty! If you like it and prefer a creamier sauce you can add 1/4 block of creamed coconut to the water. If you like your meat you can add pieces of chicken or pork when frying up the onions.

Tips:

  • Dry the spinach thoroughly: Use a salad spinner or pat the spinach dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the spinach from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the spinach in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the spinach will not cook evenly.
  • Stir the spinach constantly: This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Season the spinach to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: Sautéed spinach is best served fresh.
