Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Defrost the frozen spinach and squeeze out any excess water. Set aside.
- Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the onions.
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
- Stir in the defrosted spinach and cook until it is heated through and well combined with the onions and garlic, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika to the spinach mixture. Stir to combine, and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the drained and rinsed white beans to the pan. Pour in 1 cup of water.
- Stir everything together gently, being careful not to mash the beans.
- Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Once it starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the dish thickens slightly. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a bit more water as needed.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the dish and stir gently to combine.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the Spanish white beans with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes warm, accompanied by crusty bread or rice if desired.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can use fresh spinach instead of frozen. Simply sauté it until wilted before adding it to the dish.
- Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in warm water for about 10 minutes before using to soften them and enhance their flavor.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the paprika.
- To save time, you can use canned white beans. Just be sure to rinse and drain them well.
- This dish pairs well with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
