| ~ Cut pork sirloin in small pieces, wash and strain. ~ Wash the spinach very well with plenty of running water and strain. ~ Heat up the oil and fry the chopped onions until they are translucent. ~ Add the meat in the pot and fry all sides until is golden brown. ~ Add salt and pepper to taste, chopped tomatoes, the tomato paste dissolved in water and bring to boil. ~ Simmer for about an 1-1 1/2 hour on low heat for the meat to cook well. ~ Stir occasionally and add some water if needed. ~ Do not add too much water because the spinach will release some water and you want the sauce to be thick. ~ Add the spinach, between the meat and cook for about 15 minutes or until the spinach is cooked and the sauce is thick. ~ If after the spinach is cooked and the sauce is not thick, take some sauce out of the pot, dilute 1-2 tbsp of corn flour or plain flour and pour it back into the pot to thicken the sauce. ~ Sir to mix and simmer for a few more minutes. ~ Chirino me Spanaki (Pork with Spinach) is served hot. ~ Place directly into plates or in a platter. ~ Chirino me Spanaki (Pork with Spinach) can be accompanied with Fetta Cheese, Fresh Bread and Plain Yogurt. ~ Good luck and bon appétit. |
