Spinach with Tahini Sauce
It's simple and minimal re-interpretation of a typical Japanese side dish. Use fresh spinach to enjoy its flavor with our Asian flavored 5-ingredient Tahini Sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 bundles (about 1 pound) spinach use mature one, not baby spinach
- 1/4 cup 5-Ingredient Tahini Sauce
- 1 tsp Basic Toasted Sesame Seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil for blanching spinach.
- Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath in a large prep bowl.
- Once water is boiling, blanch spinach for 2 minutes then transfer to the ice-bath to stop the cooking process.
- Remove the spinach from the ice-bath then squeeze gently to extract water. Cut into bite-size (about 1 inch) chunks.
- Serve with tahini sauce and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds for an extra sesame flavor (optional.)
Notes
- It should be served at room temperature.
- We like the style of plating by laying spinach over the sauce but the sauce can be poured over or mixed altogether in a bowl then served.
