POACHED FISH WITH SPINACH IN CHILI-TOMATO SAUCE
I like this one because it's a one-pan dish-you will need a pan with a lid. You can use a can of tomatoes instead of making the purée if you wish, but puréeing the tomatoes produces a better result. You don't need to be precise with the quantities for this dish at all-a handful of cherry tomatoes, add some onion, etc. The important thing is to have the lid to keep in steam and heat so you get a very nice lightly cooked fish. You don't want to overcook it. I've used hake but you can use any white fish like cod, sea bass, halibut or even salmon. It's simple but tasty, and the kind of thing you could easily rustle up for yourself or friends. You can use any green veg but it works well with fennel-sautéed in a pan or slow-baked, or added to the pan and cooked with the fish and tomatoes. This is a great one for a novice cook.

Steps:

- To serve, arrange the fish fillets on plates and spoon over the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the herby topping, and add a squeeze of lemon juice to finish.

SPINACH CHILI
Steps:
- Chop the onion and mix in with the browning beef. Chop all peppers and set aside. After the beef has browned, drain the grease. Add the mixture of all peppers, beans and diced tomatoes to the pot. Add about 1.5 cups of water. Add Williams seasoning and Tapatio hot sauce - to your own taste. Bring the pot to a boil for only about 5 minutes, then simmer for 4-5 hours at a low temperature. About ten minutes before serving, add the entire bag of spinach a little at a time, mixing it into the chili. Turn off heat for about 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chili. If you can, use organic spinach and fresh, ripe tomatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much spinach to the pot, it will wilt and release a lot of water, making the chili watery. Add the spinach in batches and stir it in until it wilts before adding more.
- Season to taste: Chili is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add more chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicier chili, or add cumin, oregano, or coriander for a more complex flavor.
- Let the chili simmer: Simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is a great dish to serve with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
Conclusion:
Spinach chili is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of hearty beans, vegetables, and spices, spinach chili is a satisfying and nutritious meal that is sure to please everyone at your table.
