SAUTEED SPINACH AND BUTTER BEANS



Sauteed Spinach and Butter Beans image

Got this recipe from a magazine this summer. It was so easy to do and the flavor makes me want to stock up on butter beans. I caramelized the onions, rather than crisped them because I had too many onions in the pan and the moisture lent itself to the softer result. I used rice wine vinegar. and garnished with the pepper flakes. It was so good. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach with deep green, crisp leaves and avoid any leaves that are wilted or yellow.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the spinach quickly: Spinach cooks very quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it for just a few minutes, or until it is just wilted.
  • Use a large skillet: When cooking spinach, it's important to use a large skillet so that the spinach has plenty of room to wilt. If you use a small skillet, the spinach will be crowded and will not cook evenly.
  • Season the spinach to taste: Spinach has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs or spices that you like.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: Sautéed spinach is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to lose its color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Sautéed spinach and butter beans is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it can be served as a side dish or a main course. With its simple ingredients and quick cooking time, sautéed spinach and butter beans is a perfect dish for busy weeknights or for a healthy lunch.
