Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This is quick cooking at its best…or novice cooking for those who are just discovering their talents in the kitchen.

Servings: Serves 2 but can be multiplied easily

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch of fresh spinach
• ½ cup of tomatoes, diced. You can use fresh tomatoes from the garden or farmers market but when out of season, canned, diced tomatoes will work just fine.
• ½ tsp of minced garlic (jar garlic will work but fresh will be best)
• ¼ cup of vegetable broth

Instructions:

Get out a medium-sized saute pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with a shallow layer of vegetable broth. If it takes a little more to cover your pan, don’t worry. Most of it is going to bubble off.

Add the tomato bits and the garlic. Heat on medium-high until it’s bubbling. Let it go until it’s starting to boil off. Then add a nice handful of spinach per person. Simply toss to coat and wilt the spinach. You want to serve immediately so it doesn’t turn into spinach slop. Some of the leaves will not be wilted, and others will.

Season with grated sea salt and pepper if you choose.

If you like your spinach totally cooked, no matter. Your spinach will just curl up and be a little pile instead of a bigger one.

If you are doing this for more people you might need more vegetable broth and you might want to do it in batches.

I serve this spinach side dish with my crunchy top cod.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
