-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Tablespoons peanut oil
1 1/2 pounds spinach -- trimmed, washed and dried
1 Tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes -- or to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
Heat the oil in a large skillet until it begins to smoke. Add the spinach
and stir constantly until it wilts, about a minute. Add the red pepper,
sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, and lime juice, and cook another 30 seconds
or so, still stirring. Serve immediately.
VARIATION: Spinach with Lime and Cilantro: before the oil smokes, add 1
onion, peeled and diced; cook until it is soft. Raise the heat to high,
brown the onion a bit, and add the spinach as above, with 1 cup minced
cilantro. Omit the red pepper, sugar, and garlic; proceed as in original
recipe.
Makes 4 servings
Other Greens to Use: Chard
AuthorNote: A quick, easy preparation taught to me by Chris Schlesinger.
You can make this as hot as you like, but don't omit the sugar, a "secret
ingredient" that brings all the other flavors together.
