pulverise spinach, especially spinach that's looking a bit sorry for itself, with toasted seeds, lemon, oil and garlic for an irridescent sauce - here i bunged it on some egg noodles but it's also good with pasta, or simply as a dresssing for veg.
Ingredients
- 1/2 bag spinach - about 100g, plus any other nearly-dodgy salad knocking around - rocket works well
- juice of half a lemon
- handful sunflower seeds (or pine nuts or any other tasty nuts you have that need using up)
- glug of olive oil
- clove garlic
- spinkling dried chilli
- salt, pepper
- toast the seeds (or nuts) lightly in a frying pan. if you burn them, you'll have to chuck them out because they taste really nasty.
- once they're toasted, bung in a food processor or liquidiser. put the olive oil in the still-warm frying pan and lightly fry the garlic - again, if it overcooks it'll be bitter so keep an eye on it. cooking the garlic takes the edge off...
- place everything else in the processor and squish on high until it's a sauce. serve ...
