Braised Spinach and Lemony Mash

Vegetables - Potato - -

INGREDIENTS

500 g / 1 lb of potatoes, quartered
Juice of one lemon
A T of margarine
Salt and pepper
500 g / 1 lb spinach leaves
3 T olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tomatoes, skinned and roughly chopped

METHOD

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain well and mash with the lemon juice, margarine and salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, rinse the spinach leaves briefly in cold water and leave to drain in a colander. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and when it begins to sizzle, throw in the garlic, tomatoes and damp spinach. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes until the spinach is soft and dark green.

Seasons the spinach to taste. Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates, flattening down slightly, and pile the spinach mixture on top. Pour over any juices left in the pan and eat immediately.
