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.
A really pretty dish and so yummy. This is now my favourite spinach recipe.
This looks really good. I love all the onion up in there.
I’m always looking for a new way to cook spinach. This looks fabulous!
