Instructions

1
Warm the olive oil in a wide paella pan or heavy skillet over medium heat until it flows easily.
2
Sear the Spinach until golden on all sides, then push it to the edges of the pan.
3
Soften Garlic in the middle of the pan, adding Smoked Paprika after a few minutes, building a sofrito — low and slow, five full minutes.
4
Season with paprika and salt and stir for thirty seconds so the paprika blooms without scorching.
5
Add the liquid, bring to a confident simmer, and let everything cook until the Spinach is done and the sauce has thickened and glossed.
6
Rest off the heat for five minutes, finish with lemon wedges and parsley, and serve from the pan.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the smoked paprika in the oil before adding anything wet.
