Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 5-ounce package baby spinach
4 large eggs
8 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
One 3.5-ounce package cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place the spinach in a large bowl and leave at room temperature. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs into the water. Boil until both the whites and yolks are set (hard-boiled), about 10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl filled with ice water and cool completely. Once cool, peel the eggs and cut each into quarters.
  • Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Remove half of the bacon fat to a small bowl and reserve.
  • Return the skillet and remaining bacon fat to medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the reserved bacon fat, vinegar, mustard and honey and whisk until smooth and emulsified. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.
  • Pour the hot bacon dressing over the spinach and toss until evenly coated and slightly wilted. Transfer to a platter and top with the eggs, red onion and reserved bacon.

WILTED SPINACH SALAD WITH PICKLED SHALLOTS AND SHERRY VINAIGRETTE



Wilted Spinach Salad with Pickled Shallots and Sherry Vinaigrette image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 bunches spinach, leaves only, well washed and dried
10 pickled shallots (recipe below), slivered
1/2 cup pepitas (see note)
1/2 cup crumbled feta or anejo cheese (optional)
20 medium shallots, unpeeled
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
2 teaspoons red chile flakes
2 tablespoons Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, and mustard. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until the dressing is completely emulsified. Assemble all the ingredients for the salad on the counter top just before you are ready to serve it. Turn a gas or electric burner to medium high heat. Using an oven glove to protect your hands, heat a large stainless bowl until it is very hot. Add just under 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette, reserving the rest for another use. Swirl for a minute or two, until the vinaigrette is quite warm. Remove from the heat and quickly throw in the spinach leaves and the shallots. Immediately start tossing the salad mixture with tongs and, as soon as it begins to wilt, serve the salad, sprinkled with the toasted pipettes and, if desired, the cheese.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and blanch the shallots for 1 minute. Drain in a colander. When the shallots are cool enough to handle, peel them. In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, wine, sugar, mustard seeds, peppercorns, chile flakes, and salt. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the shallots and bring the liquid to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool completely. Transfer the shallots and all the liquid into a sterilized jar, cover tightly, and use as directed in this recipe, or keep for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender spinach: The quality of your spinach will greatly impact the final dish. Look for leaves that are deep green, crisp, and free of blemishes.
  • Properly wash and dry the spinach: Before using the spinach, rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Then, use a salad spinner or pat the leaves dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
  • Caramelize the shallots until golden brown: This step adds a rich, sweet flavor to the salad. Be patient and stir the shallots frequently to prevent them from burning.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing should complement the salad, not overpower it. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Wilted spinach salad is best enjoyed fresh. The spinach will start to wilt and lose its texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Wilted spinach salad with caramelized shallots is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to impress your family and friends.
