Andalusian Spinach image

A terrific side dish to serve with ham or roast chicken. This comes from chefs Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand but I found it in the Chicago Tribune some years ago. It's quite spicy so if you do not care for garlic, cumin or paprika please keep looking for a recipe that would suit you better than this one does :)

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs fresh spinach
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think I'll try making it again with less salt next time.
