Cheesy Spinach Carbonera

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh spinach
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, diced
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 ounce diced pecorino cheese or parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup water

Directions

1. 1

   Over med-high heat, saute garlic and onions in Worcestershire sauce and olive oil until fragrant and onion is becoming transparent.

2. 2

   Add bacon, tomato, and vinegar, saute until the tomato releases its juice and becomes soft (~2 min.) There should be some liquid released from the tomatoes in the pan, if not, add some water very sparingly and mix cheeses in until the chunks begin to dissolve.

3. 3

   Bring mixture to a near boil, stirring well; add spinach leaves.

4. 4

   Toss and cover for a minute, continue to toss and cover until the spinach has wilted and is covered in the thin cheese sauce.

5. 5

   Allow spinach to cook with top removed ~3-5 minutes, as necessary, to reduce cheese sauce.

6. 6

   Sauce may remain thinner than most cheese sauces, but will still impart loads of flavour to the spinach. Drizzle left-over sauce over potatoes or rice, or mop it up with bread.
