Spinach sauce

1 cup

Quantity Ingredient
4 tablespoons Olive oil
2 \N Shallots
\N \N Finely diced
1 pounds Bag spinach
\N \N Rinsed well and dried
\N \N Stems removed
1 tablespoon Rice wine vinegar
1 pinch Nutmeg
1 tablespoon Pernod
1 \N Vitamin C pill, crushed *
\N \N Salt and pepper to taste

* 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.
