Quick and Classic – Sauteed Spinach

Posted in Food with tags , , on September 17, 2012 by David McInerny

Deceptively simple, this recipe will become a staple to go with meat or fish, especially if you only have ten minutes to come up with something swanky and really good.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet, and sautee a quarter cup of red peppers and an equal amount of red onions on medium heat until soft. Drop in a large handful of spinach per diner (a full bag will serve 4-5). As the leaves begin to shrivel, sprinkle on a bit more olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Great color, and healthy too.

Add a bit of flash: save two or three slices of cooked bacon from breakfast (hide them from the kids for the day under the asparagus in the crisper), and crumble them into the spinach. Another option is to substitute the last dash of olive oil with sesame oil and large splash of soy sauce for an Oriental touch.
