Spinach sauce
1 cup
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | tablespoons | Olive oil |
| 2 | Shallots | |
| Finely diced | ||
| 1 | pounds | Bag spinach |
| Rinsed well and dried | ||
| Stems removed | ||
| 1 | tablespoon | Rice wine vinegar |
| 1 | pinch | Nutmeg |
| 1 | tablespoon | Pernod |
| 1 | Vitamin C pill, crushed * | |
| Salt and pepper to taste | ||
Directions
* The vitamin C tablet will slow down the oxidation process, keeping the sauce a nice green color longer.
Heat the oil over high heat in a large saute pan. Add the shallots and saute for 1 min, then add the spinach leaves to the pan. Cover and let the spinach "sweat" for 1 min.
Remove the pan from the heat and place the contents in a food processor along with the remaining ingredients. Process on high until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Variation;
To make a warm dip for pita bread, fold in some grated Swiss cheese.
