Low Carb Vegetables Recipes

Ingredients:

4 lb fresh spinach, stemmed, washed,
1 and dried
1 tbsp unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 tbsp finely-chopped shallots
2 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp fennel seeds
1/2 tsp garam masala, (see recipe)
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions:

Coarsely chop the spinach and set aside.

Melt the butter over medium heat in a large, heavy, preferably nonstick
pot. Add the garlic and shallots and sauté until the shallots are
translucent.

Add the whipping cream and salt and bring to a simmer. Stir in the spinach
by handfuls, adding more as it cooks down.

Turn to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is extremely
soft and the cream is almost absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Heat a small frying pan over high heat. Add the fennel seeds and roast,
shaking the pan, until the seeds turn one shade darker. Add to the spinach
along with the garam masala and cayenne. Mix well.

Comments: This is excellent served with lamb as well as turkey. Garam
masala is an East Indian blend of sweet spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg
and allspice. It is usually added at the last minute to cooked foods for
an extra boost of flavor.
