Catalan Spinach with Poached Egg

Catalan Spinach has pine nuts and raisins but in this recipe I used aged Manchego cheese (you can use parmesan) and add grated black olives instead of raisins.


Ingredients:


1 Tomato Slice per person
1 Bag of fresh Spinach
1 Cup Aged Manchego Cheese or Parmesan
1/4 Cup Pine Nuts
1/4 Cup Cream
1 Poached Egg per person
Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper


Put the slice of tomato in the broiler until it gets lightly brown but still has its consistency (it shouldn't fall apart).


Put the spinach in a pan with 1/4 cup of water (this vegetable has already a high content of water). When the spinach is cooked, add the cheese, the cream, the nuts and 4 or 5 grated olives, salt and fresh ground pepper. 


While cooking the spinach, put water in another pan and when it starts boiling add the egg. When the egg starts rising to the surface it is done.


On a plate, put first the tomato, then the spinach and finally the poached egg. Place some cream around the plate and add grated olives.
