Toasted Rice Soup With Spinach Parmesan Cheese Recipes

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash and dry spinach and remove stems.
• Using half the ingredients and working in batches, heat olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Saute garlic about one minute. Add spinach leaves, increase heat to high, and stir until evenly wilted, about 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and tomatoes. Cook an additional minute. Stir in grated Parmesan, remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately. If spinach releases too much water, you can drain mixture in a colander before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings again after draining.

SPINACH AND RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Place the spinach in a large pan with just the water that clings to its leaves after washing. Add a large pinch of salt. Heat gently until the spinach has just wilted, then remove from heat and drain, reserving any liquid.
• Either chop the spinach finely using a large knife or place it in a food; processor and process into a fairly course puree.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the onion, garlic and chile and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally for 4 - 5 minutes, until softened.
• Add the rice and stir until all the grains are well coated, then pour in the stock and reserved spinach liquid. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Add the spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes more, until the rice is tender. Check the seasoning and serve in warmed soup plates with the grated Pecorino cheese.
