Cooking with Class 2020

Chef/Owner Daisley Gordon
Café Campagne

Lemon Butter Spinach

Serves 2-3

2 T Whole butter

2 T Minced shallots

1# bag Cleaned spinach

1 lemon, split, seeds removed

TT Sea salt

TT Fresh ground black pepper

Wide bottom sauté pan

Place pan on medium heat add whole butter and shallots, heat until butter is foaming and shallots are aromatic. Add as much spinach as possible to the pan, turn over and over with tongs until the spinach begins to wilt. Continue until all spinach is in the pan. We are not trying to fry or brown the spinach. We want it to wilt and turn bright green. The last bit of cooking may be done off the heat. Just keep watching the leaves until they change color to bright green. Squeeze lemon and add sea salt and fresh pepper to your taste.  Transfer spinach to serving bowl. The zippiness from the lemon will help cut the richness of the butter.

This is the perfect way to prepare spinach. The foaming butter procedure is great with other green vegetables, but I recommend steaming or blanching those items that are thicker than spinach and require more time to cook through.
