Ingredients
  • fresh spinach, whole leaf or roughly chopped
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper (if freshly grinding, grind before you start)
  • balsamic vinegar

Directions
  1. Wash the spinach well and it dry it well.
  2. Heat a 10-12" saute pan over high heat.
  3. Don't let the pan get very hot...add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Soon after you add the oil, you should be able to move the oil around the pan easily.
  4. Don't let the oil get too hot (don't let it smoke)...add a couple of handfuls of spinach per person. Start turning the spinach as soon as the last handful goes in. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and continue turning. When about 50% of the leaf(leaves) has wilted, drizzle a couple of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar over the spinach. Let the vinegar reduce for a minute or so (there shouldn't be a lot of moisture) then remove the pan from the heat and serve with the pan juices. Enjoy!

I have never tried sauted spinach using balsamic, but I will definitely try this now. We love spinach, we love balsamic...don't know why I never thought to use them together other than on a cold salad!


Delicious!


Sounds great! And thanks to all for the helpful hints below!! ^_^

Add some minced garlic to the hot oil about 30 seconds before adding the spinach.


This is also excellent with beet greens and chard.


Add garlic and fresh chopped coriander turn them for a few minutes.you can put lemon juice instead of balsamic.... tastes very nice
