Amazing Alien Sauce!

Born of the necessity of no cow dairy, no tomato, no tuna, here's a little something I knocked up to go with pasta which turned out to be a great success! It's essentially espinacas a la catalana with pesto ;-)

Ingredients: all quantities are approx, adjust to taste
  • Spinach - I use about half a bag of the frozen spinach pellets from Mercadona which defrosts really quickly and is already blended, so perfect for sauces.
  • Basil - dried, fresh, in a squeezy tube...
  • Peeled sunflower seeds - pipas - or pine nuts
  • Raisins
  • Bouillon powder
  • Goats cheese, one big disc
  • Olive oil
  • Pesto if you can do dairy, but even without and enough basil it tastes good

  1. Toast the  pipas in a dry frying pan then set aside
  2. Throw spinach in frying pan with dash of olive oil, stir until it defrosts
  3. Stir in a good shake of basil and a teaspoon of bouillon powder and a handful of raisins
  4. Crumble in the goats cheese until its all melty
  5. Take off the heat and stir in a couple of tablespoons of pesto and the toasted pipas

Et voila!!!
