Roast garlic & spinach puree

Roast Garlic & Spinach Puree is a delightful, nutrient-packed dish that can be used as a spread, dip, or added to various recipes for a rich, savory flavor. This dish highlights the robust taste of roasted garlic combined with the earthy tones of spinach and the nuttiness of walnuts, all brightened with a touch of lemon juice.

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g
3 cups spinach
90g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spinach:
- While the garlic is roasting, wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach and blanch for 30 seconds. Quickly transfer the spinach to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Once the spinach is cool, drain it and squeeze out any excess water. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Walnuts:
- Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, until they are fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from the skillet and let them cool.
3. Blend the Ingredients:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted garlic, blanched spinach, toasted walnuts, lemon juice, and the remaining olive oil.
- Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure an even puree. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more olive oil or a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency.
4. Season and Serve:
- Taste the puree and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Transfer the puree to a serving bowl. This roast garlic & spinach puree can be served warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Make sure to roast the garlic until it's soft and slightly caramelized, as this will enhance its sweetness and reduce its pungency.

- If you find the puree is too thick, you can add a little water or olive oil to achieve your desired consistency.

- Toast the walnuts before adding them to enhance their flavor and add a bit of crunch to the texture.

- For a smoother puree, blend the ingredients for a longer period until you reach the desired texture.

- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed before serving.
