  • 1 bunch Spinach leaves, most of the stem removed

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1/2 cup tomato (fresh or we like Posardi tomato sauce)

  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped or pressed)

  • 1 tbls Kefta rub

  • 1/2 teaspoons salt, or more to taste

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 preserved lemon rind (quartered)

  • Pulp from 1 preserved lemon (finely chopped)

  • 1 handful of Picholine olives

Method

  1. Wash the spinach and drain well. Finely chop the leaves and crush the garlic then steam until spinach is wilted, about 2-3 mins.

  2. Remove any excess liquid move to a frying pan. Add the remaining ingredients, stir to mix, and saute over medium heat for several mins until all the greens are wilted and well blended.

  3. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnishing the salad with the olives and preserved lemon rinds and serve with bread or our favorite - on a tartine.
