Wilted Spinach with Bacon and Onion
Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes
One of my favorite ways to eat fresh spinach: tossed with bacon and onion and a dash of vinegar. Be careful not to cook the spinach too long; it quickly goes from just wilting to fully cooked and limp. You want it to still look like spinach leaves!
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch fresh salad spinach, 170gr, 6oz
- 1/2 onion, 50gr, 1.7oz
- 2 slices bacon, 50gr, 1.7oz uncooked weight
- 1 tsp cider vinegar, 5.5gr, .19oz
Instructions:
- Wash and stem spinach if needed. Drain in a colander. If you don't feel you need to wash it - do it anyway. We want a little bit of water on the leaves - what ever is left after draining well - and shake them around a bit, too.
- Chop the onion.
- Sauté bacon in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, remove and crumble.
- Add onion and sauté until tender and starting to brown, 7 - 10 minutes.
- Add spinach and stir fry for 1 - 2 minutes, just until spinach starts to wilt.
- Add crumbled bacon, sprinkle with vinegar and serve.
