Sauteed Spinach With Roasted Red Peppers Food

SAUTEED SPINACH AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add red pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add onion and garlic; cook 1-1/2 minutes longer or until onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is just wilted.

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER

Steps:

• Place bell pepper directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner or under the broiler. Roast pepper, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. Transfer pepper to a medium bowl, and cover immediately with plastic wrap. Let steam 15 minutes. Discard skin, stem, seeds, and ribs; slice pepper lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick strips, and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; cook, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add roasted pepper; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 30 seconds. Raise heat to medium-high. Add half the spinach, and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add remaining spinach, and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes more. Stir in salt, pepper, and lemon juice, and serve.

SPINACH AND ROASTED RED PEPPER TOFU CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the skillet.
• Add the bell peppers, spinach, tofu, parsley, mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the flour and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine well. Shape the mixture into patties, each about the size of a small burger patty.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup flour and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Dredge each side of the tofu croquettes in the breadcrumb mixture.
• Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the croquettes in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

SAUTEED SPINACH AND RED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Char peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag and let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and cut peppers into matchstick-size strips. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add roasted peppers and sauté until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Cover to keep warm.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in same pot over medium-high heat. Add half of spinach and cook just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer spinach to bowl with roasted peppers. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter, 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and spinach. Toss spinach and peppers to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

SAUTEED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil, and then sweat the garlic, and green chili over medium heat. Add the red, orange, and yellow peppers, and saute for 1 minute.
• Add the red onion, and lemon zest to the pan, and continue cooking until the peppers are slightly tender.
• Remove the pan from the heat, season with salt, to taste, and add the lemon juice. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and serve.

QUICHE WITH RED PEPPERS AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic, peppers and thyme. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, then turn the heat to medium low and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes more, until peppers are very tender and sweet.
• Turn up heat to medium-high and, a handful at a time, add spinach and stir until each handful wilts. If there is liquid remaining in the pan turn up the heat and stir while you let it cook off. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. If you are making filling a day ahead, refrigerate uncovered.
• Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
• Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to the remaining eggs and whisk together.
• Spread pepper and spinach mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle in an even layer on top. Very slowly pour in the egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to avoid the custard spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

SPINACH AND RED PEPPER FRITTATA

Steps:

• Steam the spinach above an inch boiling water until just wilted, about two minutes; or wilt in a large frying pan with the water left on the leaves after washing. Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine, and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender, five to eight minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste, stir for about half a minute, and stir in the chopped spinach and the marjoram. Stir together for a few seconds, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, milk, spinach and red peppers. Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with a spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan, and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. The bottom should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.
