The Nutritional Power of Organic Moroccan Spinach Salad

The core of this warm recipe is high-quality, dark leafy greens. For instance, organic spinach provides superior iron levels and essential vitamins. According to Healthline’s nutritional research on spinach, it actively supports your blood health and reduces oxidative stress. In addition to these benefits, the fresh organic garlic delivers a massive dose of natural antibacterial compounds.

Authentic cooked salads require a deeply satisfying, rich oil base. Therefore, the heavy use of fresh spices acts as a natural blood sugar regulator. Meanwhile, blending these warm greens with a splash of our Organic Moroccan Olive Oil ensures your body absorbs all the vital, fat-soluble vitamins seamlessly.

Chef Badr’s Recipe for this Traditional Dish

This traditional cooking method is incredibly easy to follow at home. The rustic aroma of garlic and cumin will fill your entire kitchen!

Organic Moroccan Spinach Salad Ingredients:

3 large bunches of Organic Spinach (washed thoroughly and chopped)
1/2 cup Fresh Parsley (finely chopped)
1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro (finely chopped)
4 Cloves Organic Garlic (minced)
1 tbsp Sweet Paprika
1 tbsp Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 Organic Preserved Lemon (flesh minced, rind sliced for garnish)
1/4 cup of Organic Moroccan Olive Oil
1/2 cup Red Moroccan Olives (pitted)
Sea Salt to taste

Instructions for Cooking:

The Steaming: First, place the chopped spinach, parsley, and cilantro into a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 15 minutes until the greens are completely wilted and tender.
The Draining: Next, remove the greens from the steamer and press them gently in a colander to remove any excess water.
The Flavor Base: Then, heat the pure olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, paprika, cumin, and black pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes to release the aromatic oils.
The Mixing: Now, add the steamed greens and the minced preserved lemon flesh to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the greens in the rich spices.
The Simmering: After that, lower the heat and let your Organic Moroccan Spinach Salad simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the liquids have evaporated and the greens are almost frying in the olive oil.
The Garnish: Finally, stir in the red olives and season with sea salt to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with strips of preserved lemon rind.

Chef’s Tip: Be careful with the sea salt! The preserved lemons and red olives already add a lot of natural saltiness to the dish.
