Side Essentials: Sautéed Spinach & Goat Cheese image

This is a simple, yet very flavorful side dish. It uses frozen, chopped spinach with goat cheese and a few other components to make it a versatile recipe, and a wonderful addition to your dinner table. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Provided by Andy Anderson !

Categories     Vegetables

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
1 Tbsp shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
12 oz chopped spinach, frozen variety, defrosted
4 oz goat cheese, creamed variety
1 large lemon, just the juice
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
toasted pine nuts

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.

BEETS AND GOAT CHEESE ON A BED OF SPINACH



Beets and Goat Cheese on a Bed of Spinach image

I was inspired by Wolfgang Puck's iconic goat cheese and beet napoleon to make something similar, but decided on a dish that is much less elaborate. If you have time to spare, you could stack the beet slices and goat cheese rather than crumbling the goat cheese over the beets.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
4 medium beets, roasted
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, chives, parsley or a combination
1 tablespoon pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach

Steps:

  • Make the dressing. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the vinegars and salt to taste. Whisk in the mustard and the olive oil. Set aside.
  • Toss the spinach with 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Line a platter or individual plates.
  • Skin the beets and cut in half lengthwise (stem to root), then slice into thin half moons. Place the sliced halves on top of the spinach and fan them out. Drizzle on the remaining dressing and sprinkle on the herbs. Top each fan of beets with crumbled goat cheese and pine nuts, and serve.

Tips:

  • Select fresh spinach: Choose spinach that is vibrant green in color and has crisp leaves. Avoid wilted or yellowing spinach.
  • Wash spinach thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the spinach to cook evenly and prevent overcrowding.
  • Cook spinach in batches: If you are using a lot of spinach, cook it in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become limp and lose its flavor.
  • Add pecans and goat cheese at the end: Add the pecans and goat cheese towards the end of cooking to prevent them from burning.
  • Season to taste: Season the spinach with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili flakes, to taste.

Conclusion:

Sautéed spinach with pecans and goat cheese is a simple yet delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.
