Espinacas Guisadas (Colombian Braised Spinach)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 2 pounds spinach stems removed and rinsed
- ½ cup of coconut milk
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and ground black pepper
- ⅓ of cup of queso fresco or feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
- In a sauce pan over medium heat, warm the butter and olive oil. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Put the spinach with some water in a pot over medium-high heat, cover, and cook until the spinach is bright green, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and drain well, pressing the spinach with the back of a spoon to remove excess moisture. When the spinach is cool enough to handle, chop it.
- Add the spinach, coconut milk and cumin to the onion and garlic in the sauce pan and return to medium-low heat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir and cook for about 8 to10 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top and serve warm.
