Buttered spinach

500g spinach

2 cloves of garlic

olive oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 knob of butter

1 lemon

Wash and drain the spinach. Peel and finely slice 2 cloves of garlic. Preheat your largest pan or wok on a medium heat until hot. Tilt the pan and add a lug of olive oil, immediately followed by the garlic. Shake the pan around so the garlic cooks evenly. When the garlic goes slightly golden, tip in your spinach and mix it around quickly, using a pair of tongs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. In just 1 minute the spinach will cook down. Put it into a colander and let any excess water drain away. Put the pan back on a medium heat and add the butter. As soon as the butter starts to bubble, put the spinach back into the pan and squeeze over the juice of 1 lemon. Stir it around, taste, and add more salt and pepper if you think it needs it. Serve immediately.

Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes with Braised Garlicky Kale

1 lb. Jerusalem artichokes, chopped

1 parsnip, chopped

1 bell pepper, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1 tbsp. vegetable oil

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Preheat oven to 200C. On a large baking sheet, arrange the Jerusalem artichokes, parsnip and bell pepper in a single layer. Toss the garlic over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the oil over the vegetables and toss with your hands until all the vegetables are lightly coated with oil. Roast for 25 – 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and browned. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with fresh parsley.

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 bunches kale, stemmed and chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

A pinch of nutmeg

¼ cup vegetable stock

In a large pan, heat the oil over a medium high heat. Add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until the onion is softened. Add the garlic and mix. Cook until fragrant. Add the kale, a bit at a time. Toss it with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. As it wilts down, add more of the kale until you have added it all. Add the stock, lower the heat to low, cover the pot and let the kale cook until it is just wilted and bright green. It should only take a few minutes. Don’t overcook it. Check for seasoning. Serve while hot.
