Spinach Pizza Quesadilla

配料

If you need to make some sautéed spinach:

1 Tablespoon unrefined extra-virgin olive oil

3 cloves of garlic (minced)

1 pound frozen chopped spinach (defrosted and squeezed of excess water (I do this in a thin, clean dish towel)

sea salt to taste

4 whole spelt (sprouted grain or your favorite tortillas)

½ cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella or vegan cheese (Daiya is my favorite vegan cheese)

Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese (to taste)

步骤

Preheat your griddle to 350 degrees or a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.

Heat the olive oil in a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add spinach and a pinch or two of salt and break up with wooden spoon or spatula. Sauté until heated through, about 5 minutes.

If you are using a cast iron or non-stock griddle or skillet, place a tortilla on the griddle or skillet dry without any oil or butter. If using stainless steel, you may need a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking. Spread 2 Tablespoons of marinara sauce on half of the tortilla. Follow with ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, a sprinkling of pecorino or parmesan, if desired, and ¼ cup spinach mixture on top of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to make a quesadilla.

Allow quesadilla to sit on griddle until underside is lightly golden brown and flip over. Cook until cheese is melted.

Slice in half or in thirds and serve.
