8 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh spinach
  • 12 red onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, diced
  • 1 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 12 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 ounce diced pecorino cheese or 1 ounce parmesan cheese or 1 ounce mozzarella cheese or 1 ounce cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 14 cup water

Directions

  1. 1
    Over med-high heat, saute garlic and onions in Worcestershire sauce and olive oil until fragrant and onion is becoming transparent.
  2. 2
    Add bacon, tomato, and vinegar, saute until the tomato releases its juice and becomes soft (~2 min.)
  3. 3
    There should be some liquid released from the tomatoes in the pan, if not, add some water very sparingly and mix cheeses in until the chunks begin to dissolve.
  4. 4
    Bring mixture to a near boil, stirring well; add spinach leaves.
  5. 5
    Toss and cover for a minute, continue to toss and cover until the spinach has wilted and is covered in the thin cheese sauce.
  6. 6
    Allow spinach to cook with top removed ~3-5 minutes, as necessary, to reduce cheese sauce.
  7. 7
    Sauce may remain thinner than most cheese sauces, but will still impart loads of flavour to the spinach.
  8. 8
    Drizzle left-over sauce over potatoes or rice, or mop it up with bread.
