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.

QUICHE WITH RED PEPPERS AND SPINACH



Quiche With Red Peppers and Spinach image

The real spring vegetable here is the spinach, lush and beautiful at this time of year. You can always get red peppers in a supermarket, and when you cook them for a while, as you do here, even the dullest will taste sweet. I make the pepper mixture first, then wilt the spinach in the same pan and line the tart shell with the savory mix. If you can, make the pepper and spinach filling a day ahead. It dries out a little if it sits overnight in the refrigerator and is less likely to dilute the custard.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium-size onion (yellow or spring onion), chopped
2 large garlic cloves, or 1 small bulb green garlic, peeled and minced
Salt to taste
2 large red bell peppers (about 3/4 pound), seeded and cut in thin 1-inch strips
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 generous bunch spinach, stemmed, washed in 2 changes of water, and coarsely chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1 (9-inch) whole wheat pâte brisée pie crust, fully baked and cooled
Freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup milk
2 ounces Gruyère, grated (1/2 cup)
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic, peppers and thyme. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, then turn the heat to medium low and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, until peppers are very tender and sweet.
  • Turn up heat to medium-high and, a handful at a time, add spinach and stir until each handful wilts. If there is liquid remaining in the pan turn up the heat and stir while you let it cook off. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. If you are making filling a day ahead, refrigerate uncovered.
  • Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
  • Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to the remaining eggs and whisk together.
  • Spread pepper and spinach mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle in an even layer on top. Very slowly pour in the egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to avoid the custard spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

THREE-CHEESE BAKED EGGS WITH ROASTED PEPPERS



Three-Cheese Baked Eggs with Roasted Peppers image

Categories     Cheese     Egg     Pepper     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Vegetarian     Cheddar     Parmesan     Bell Pepper     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium red bell peppers
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
9 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated extra-sharp Cheddar (6 oz)
1 cup whole-milk ricotta (8 oz)
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (2 oz)
3 scallions, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
Garnish: thin slivers of scallion greens

Steps:

  • Roast peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes. (Or broil peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.) Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let stand 20 minutes.
  • When cool enough to handle, peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and cut into 1/3-inch dice.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder into a small bowl.
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until doubled in volume, about 3 minutes. Add butter, flour mixture, and cheeses and mix well at low speed, then stir in peppers and scallions.
  • Pour into a buttered 10-inch (6-cup) glass pie plate and bake in middle of oven (or lower third of oven if baking with bacon) until top is golden brown and a tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose baby spinach for a more tender texture: Baby spinach leaves are smaller and more delicate than mature spinach, resulting in a sauté that is less likely to become tough or stringy.
  • Wash spinach thoroughly: Spinach leaves can trap dirt and grit, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before cooking. Swish the leaves in a bowl of cold water, gently agitating them to dislodge any dirt. Drain the water and repeat this process until the water runs clear.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing spinach, it's important not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the leaves from cooking evenly. Work in batches if necessary, adding more spinach as the previous batch wilts.
  • Use a large pan: Use a large pan or skillet to sauté the spinach, as this will give the leaves plenty of room to wilt and cook evenly.
  • Season the spinach to taste: Once the spinach is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: Sautéed spinach is best served immediately, as it will lose its vibrant color and flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Sautéed spinach with roasted red pepper is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor and nutrients. It's a great way to enjoy fresh spinach and add color and variety to your meals. Serve it alongside grilled chicken, fish, or tofu, or use it as a topping for salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
