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.

WILTED SPINACH WITH GARLIC CHIPS



Wilted Spinach with Garlic Chips image

Categories     Garlic     Fry     Spinach

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (4 times around the pan)
4 large garlic cloves, carefully peeled and very thinly sliced into chips
2 pounds triple-washed spinach, stems removed
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Coarse salt and coarse black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet on the stove and add the oil and garlic chips. Turn heat onto low and let the garlic chips fry up until golden, flipping them around from time to time, about 5 minutes. Remove the crisp garlic chips with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the spinach to the pan, turning with tongs to wilt it all in. Season the spinach with the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with the garlic chips.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Wash and dry the spinach, mince the shallots, and grate the Parmesan cheese before you start cooking.
  • Use a large pan: This will help the spinach wilt evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you have a lot of spinach, cook it in batches.
  • Cook the spinach over medium heat: This will help it wilt slowly and retain its nutrients.
  • Season the spinach to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve the spinach immediately: This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Wilted spinach with shallots is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor and nutrients. It is a great way to use up fresh spinach and it can be served with a variety of main dishes. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this recipe a try!
