Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 to 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 large cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt
4 ounces pancetta, cubed
3/4 pound spinach leaves
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

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.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of pancetta next time or omit it altogether.

The crispy slivered garlic was the star of this dish! It added such a nice texture and flavor to the spinach. I also appreciated that the recipe used fresh spinach instead of frozen, which gave it a more vibrant flavor.
