Ingredients

  • 250 grams spinach stems (washed & trimmed )
  • 1 clove garlic (peeled & grated)
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 1½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 drizzle pomegranate molasses (optional)
  • 1 pinch salt & pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil.
  2. Once boiling, reduce to a low simmer and add the spinach stems.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare your dressing by mixing the olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt & pepper.
  4. After 5 minutes, remove the stems and drain.
  5. Arrange your spinach stems on a plate and drizzle your dressing over the top.

Notes

  • The weight of your spinach stems and amount of dressing you use for your salad is not a hard and fast rule.
  • Make sure you wash your spinach stems thoroughly to get rid of any muddy residue. Also trim off any roots from the bottom.
  • If you can get nar ekşisi (pomegranate molasses), we love to drizzle a little over the top of our spinach stems after dressing them.
