FENNEL SPINACH SAUTE



Fennel Spinach Saute image

Spinach and fennel are two of my favorite veggies, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them. This is an amazing side dish, but if you slice the fennel a bit smaller, it also makes a great stuffing for chicken breasts or beef tenderloin. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh spinach and feta cheese. If you can, buy organic ingredients.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Not all olive oils are created equal. For the best flavor, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will be limp and flavorless.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the spinach and feta sauté to taste. You may want to add additional salt, pepper, or garlic powder, depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve immediately: Spinach and feta sauté is best served immediately after it is made. The spinach will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Spinach and feta sauté is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. This dish is also very versatile, and it can be served with a variety of main courses.
