Turkish Spinach with Potato Recipes

Spinach with Potato

(Ispanakli Patates)

Ingredients

• Half a bag of spinach (approx 200g), washed. 
• 4 medium sized potatoes peeled and cut into large sections
• 3 shallots, chopped
• 2 large tomatoes
• Tomato puree (I used sundried tomato puree)
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste

Method

1. Add olive oil to a pan and sauté the onions and potatoes for a few minutes. 
2. Meanwhile, whizz up the tomatoes and tomato puree in a blender or food processor. 
3. Add the spinach and blended tomato mixture to the pan. Stir to combine. 
4. Put lid on the pan - the steam will cause the spinach to wilt and release extra cooking liquid to the pan. 
5. When spinach has wilted, add salt & pepper to taste, cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. 
6. Leave simmering until the potatoes are cooked through.
