Best.Spinach.Ever.

8 April 2010 10 Comments

This dish is just completely delicious- I had to share it. It’s easy to make, and it’s healthy. I really think it is the best sauteed spinach I have had. Spinach has nearly 2 mg of iron per cup and only 15 calories. It’s full of fiber, vitamin A, and plenty of minerals, like calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

Sauteed Spinach and Tomatoes (adapted from Veganomicon)

  • 1 bunch spinach (about 6 cups), washed well and roots discarded
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped finely
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp grated ginger (*I keep my fresh ginger in the freezer- it’s so easy to grate this way.)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • juice of 1/2 lemon

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion in the oil for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and salt. Saute for 30 seconds or so. Add the tomatoes and saute until moisture begins to release- about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, add the lemon juice and serve.
