Savory - Spinach with Green Onion by Ancuta N. - Recipia

To prepare a delicious spinach dish with tomato and garlic sauce, we start by washing the spinach leaves well. I used packaged spinach from Lidl, which was relatively clean, but if you buy from the market, make sure to remove any visible dirt. The leaves can be left with the stems, as they add a subtle flavor. In a pot, add water with a teaspoon of salt and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the spinach leaves, letting them blanch for 3-4 minutes. This will help retain the vibrant color and nutrients. After the spinach has been blanched, drain it well and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. The water in which the spinach was blanched should not be thrown away; it will be used later to add flavor to the dish. In a pan, finely chop an onion and add it to heated olive oil. Let it sauté until it becomes translucent, then add a grated carrot. Stir constantly to prevent sticking. After the vegetables are cooked, drain the spinach, chop it finely, and add it to the pan. Pour in a little of the blanching water and let everything simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, so the flavors can meld. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: mix the tomato puree with crushed garlic and a few tablespoons of the reserved spinach water to achieve a thinner consistency. Pour this sauce over the spinach in the pan and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the spinach is fully cooked and has absorbed the flavors. In a separate bowl, put the flour and a small amount of the blanching water, mixing well until you achieve a smooth and thin consistency. Pour this mixture over the spinach, adding your favorite spices, whether it be salt, pepper, or herbs. Finally, add quartered cherry tomatoes for a touch of freshness. Let the dish simmer on low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for 5-10 minutes. This savory dish will surely become a delicacy on your table, bringing a splash of color and nutrients to every serving. Enjoy it warm, alongside a slice of fresh bread or as a side for grilled meat. Bon appétit!
