Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/2 peeled and julienne red onion
- 3 finely minced cloves of fresh garlic
- 2 vine-ripe or Roma tomatoes cut into wedges
- 10 oz baby spinach, or 6 cups packed
- sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté or frying pan over medium to medium-high heat until it begins to smoke lightly.
- Add in the onions and garlic and sauté for 2 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Once brown, add tomatoes and sauté for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Lastly, place in the spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until wilted.
- Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese, and serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten as soon as they are done.
- How to Store: Cover and keep the Italian spinach in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will not freeze well.
- How to Reheat: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large frying pan over medium heat until it begins to smoke lightly. Next, add the desired amount of Italian Spinach to the hot pan and sauté until hot. Be careful, as the liquid from the spinach may cause the oil to catch fire. If that does happen, just remove the pan from the burner.
- You can also add dry herbs such as 2 teaspoons of oregano, basil, thyme, or rosemary to the spinach when sauteing it.
- Frozen spinach does not work well in this recipe.
