Steps:
- Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
- In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Saute -- In a large pan, heat the oil. Add the garlic, onion and red pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes on medium until slightly soft.
- Beans and spinach -- Add the beans, seasoning and saute on medium high to high until cooked through, about 5 minutes. As they cook I like to take a fork and slightly mash the beans a bit to get a good consistency. I like to get them a little crisp and browned but not fried dark brown. Just a light browning is good. Add the spinach and break up as it cooks. If too dry you can use a little white wine, chicken broth or just water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Garnish with some good olive oil and ground pepper.

Steps:
- Gently heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat and add the garlic slices. Cook, stirring with a slotted spoon so the garlic slices gently cook and become crispy, and remove them as they brown. Drain on a kitchen towel and sprinkle with salt.
- Heat a couple of spoonfuls of the oil from the garlic in a large skillet over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook until the pancetta becomes crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the spinach to the same skillet and season with salt. Toss lightly so the spinach gets coated with the oil and wilts slightly, about 1 minute. (The spinach should only be partially wilted and still appear somewhat raw.)
- Pour off any water that might accumulate in the bottom of the skillet and stir in the vinegar and pancetta. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the garlic chips. Serve immediately.
BOUCHON'S SAUTéED SPINACH WITH GARLIC CONFIT
Thomas Keller's elegant take on this traditional vegetable. You'll have more garlic confit than you need for this recipe, but it's not hard to find ways to use it--and it will keep in the fridge for about a month.

Steps:
- For the confit.
- Cut off and discard the root ends of the garlic cloves. Place the cloves in a small saucepan, and add enough oil to cover them by about 1 inch. None of the garlic cloves should be poking through the oil.
- Place the saucepan over low heat. The cloves should cook gently: very small bubbles will come up through the oil, but the bubbles should not break the surface.
- Adjust the heat as necessary and move the pan to one side if it is cooking too quickly.
- Cook the garlic for about 40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until the cloves are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the garlic to cool in the oil.
- Refrigerate the garlic, submerged in the oil, for up to a month.
- For the spinach.
- If using large-leaf spinach, remove the thick stems and wash the leaves. Wash the baby spinach.
- Melt the butter in the largest skillet you have over medium-low heat.
- Add the shallots and sauté gently for 1 minute.
- Add the garlic confit and only as much spinach as will fit in the skillet, sprinkle with one-half teaspoons salt and a pinch of pepper, or to taste, and use tongs to turn the spinach in the butter.
- As the spinach wilts, continue to add handfuls of spinach from time to time and season additionally as needed.
- Do not overcook: the spinach is done when it is wilted and tender but still bright green. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium; season pork with salt and pepper.

Transfer pork to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest 5 to 10 minutes (reserve skillet).
- Meanwhile, in a blender, combine orange juice, mustard, honey, garlic, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper, and blend until smooth; set vinaigrette aside.
- In reserved skillet (if bottom of skillet is blackened, use a new one), heat remaining tablespoon oil over high. Add as much spinach as will fit; toss until wilted, adding more spinach as there is room, 3 to 5 minutes total. Drain off excess liquid, and season spinach with salt and pepper. Slice pork and drizzle with vinaigrette; serve with spinach.

MINI RACK OF LAMB WITH NUTTY BELUGA LENTILS AND SAUTéED GARLIC SPINACH
Provided by Jessica Strand
Categories Leafy Green Lamb Vegetable Roast Sauté Easter Valentine's Day Mother's Day Dinner Meat Rack of Lamb Spinach Legume Lentil Spring Winter Anniversary
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- In a medium sauté pan place 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and heat for a minute over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté the vegetables until they are softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the lentils and bay leaf and sauté for 3 minutes, coating all the lentils. Increase the heat and add the red wine. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring, until the mixture becomes dry. Meanwhile, in a saucepan bring the chicken stock to a simmer, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm. Add the warm chicken stock to the lentils (like cooking risotto) 1/2 a cup at a time, letting the lentils absorb the liquid with each addition. Repeat, stirring the mixture constantly. After 28 to 30 minutes the lentils should be slightly chewy and tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- While the lentils are cooking, rinse and pat the lamb dry and rub it with a tablespoon of olive oil. Season the meat with salt and pepper, then press the rosemary into the flesh.
- Place the lamb in a small roasting pan in the middle of the oven, and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 140° F.
- While both the lentils and the meat are cooking, prepare the spinach. In a medium sauté pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil for a minute over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until just translucent but not brown. Add the spinach and sauté for 2 minutes, then cover and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until completely wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the rack in half. On two large dinner plates, arrange a bed of lentils and a side of spinach, then place the lamb on top of the lentils and serve.
SAUTEED SPINACH WITH GARLIC CHIPS
Steps:
- If the spinach wasn't pre-washed, wash the leaves in several changes of cold water. Rinse well and drain in a colander. Spin dry.
- Use a sharp, thin-bladed paring knife or a truffle slicer to cut the garlic lengthwise into uniformly sized paper-thin slices. Place the slices in a large skillet and add the olive oil. Set the skillet over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the slices start to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Pile the spinach into the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, until wilted but not soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Season again if desired. Serve hot with the garlic chips sprinkled on top.
Tips:
- Choose the right spinach: Use fresh, young spinach leaves for the best flavor and texture. Avoid wilted or yellowed leaves.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach leaves in cold water several times to remove any dirt or debris.
- Dry the spinach well: Use a salad spinner or pat the spinach leaves dry with a clean kitchen towel. Excess water will make the spinach limp and watery.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the spinach to cook evenly and prevent it from overcrowding.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat: This will help to prevent the spinach from burning.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant: About 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add the spinach and cook until wilted: Stir the spinach frequently to ensure that it cooks evenly. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the spinach to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Serve the spinach immediately: Garlic sautéed spinach is best enjoyed fresh.
