How to Cook Spinach Like a Pro | Jacques Pépin Cooking at Home | KQED

[@protopigeon]

Watching Jacques is therapy for me

[@glenbo02]

For all of us.

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

I could (and probably have) watch Jacques butter a piece of toast. The best of the best.

[@kqed]

Thanks for watching!

[@ratholin]

yeah think he did that in the melba toast episode. it was masterful.

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

@@ratholin funny enough, Melba is my girlfriend's preference for toast, thanks to Jacques!

[@liiteratii]

I could watch Chef Pépin slice that garlic, on loop, endlessly. Thank you for decades of joyful cooking!

[@kqed]

Thanks for watching! (And we do take gif requests sometimes 😉)

2024 Jaques pepin master of cooking 😊😊😊😊😊

I started cooking Spinach that way at least 30 years ago and have never looked back. The extra liquid can be added to a pan sauce if making a meat side dish.

[@billb5690]

Nice. And ultra healthy too!

[@bryan3550]

Yep me too. Swiss/English Chard aka Silver Beet here in Oz can be cooked in exactly the same way. 😉

[@ownpetard8379]

Extra liquid: pot likker/potlikker/pot liquor. Never let it go to waste. Drink it if no other use is imminent.

[@along5925]

Me too! Never cared for spinach as a kid because it was boiled to death. Now THIS is delicious. I like to just saute the paper thin garlic until just slightly browned. Yum.

[@tomchristensen3392]

What a nice guy

[@julietaaboka3285]

First watched this gentleman on PBS while in the US about 25 years ago. Glad to meet him again, same trustworthy, friendly and pleasant manners in the midst of this upside down world of today. Thank you, Sir, for the pleasure of your company in your lovely kitchen!

[@kqed]

Thanks for watching!

[@ratholin]

I like how he points out the change from when he worked kitchens to the current mode and how much more flavour you get now.

[@duffman7065]

I followed Jacques recipe on this one when he cooked the chicken thighs with garlic and spinach. Possibly one of the best and simple recipes to follow. Tastes fantastic and I pretty much have spinach this way all the time now. 😂Jacques is a great chef and his easy way of teaching gives you confidence to try different things in the kitchen 🙂

[@mayonnaiseeee]

Perfect. Love to simply prepare non-starchy veggies like this and just enjoy the taste of the veggie without some elaborate, crazy sauce all over it. You save a ton on calories too. A restaurant would probably take this and add heavy cream and double the oil and butter. Thanks Jacques! 👍

[@georgeferguson9779]

My mother cooked for sixty years for my father and our family. On our east Texas farm where almost all our food was grown. She was what I call an “intuitive cook.” Watching Jacque reminds me of her.

[@joannaedwards6325]

I would give up my copper bottom pans for just ONE HUG from this man!!

Wow! That's a big sacrifice.

Chef Jacques Pepin, thanks to you I am eating healthier. May God bless your generous heart in sharing your knowledge. 🌞👌🙏

[@kqed]

Thank you for watching.

[@marcellovacca3155]

Just prepared them this evening following Jacques' recommendations: the result of this so basic preparation is simply astonishing! Fresh spinach are key here, but the taste is just amazing. With some toasted rustic bread was a perfect dinner! Love you Jacques: it's not just matter of cooking, it's a master of life.

[@casemanager2534]

Jacques you are A truly humble culinary master, i have been a consistent professional chef for 30 years, yet i learn something new and valuable in every episode, much thanks to you for sharing your immense skill, experience and mastery!

[@chuckgriffith4539]

Tres Bien Chef! Merci! Its like a master class on the simple things in life.

[@SirMoribund]

Jacque casually blowing my mind with that large stem removal technique. I just got a large batch of various greens yesterday. I'm trying this! Why didn't I think of it!?

[@joannaedwards6325]

Because you haven't got 65 years of cooking experience under your belt. HA😀

[@kqed]

His tips are fantastic aren't they?

[@joannaedwards6325]

@@kqed Yup. And always simple and obvious ... does make one wonder.....why didn't I think of that?? I often say that too. I've had a crush on Jacques Pepin for over 20 years now. I still find him adorable and attractive. I'm a die hard fan . ❤

[@kaycampbell8532]

Quick, easy and I'm sure it's delicious. Thanks Jacques!

[@kqed]

Thanks for watching!

[@lorip2109]

So fresh and delicious. I love to put it on top of a baked sweet potato. Thank you Chef!

[@kqed]

That sounds delicious. Thanks for watching!

[@Starfish56]

Sounds so good.

[@kqed]

It does. Will you try it?

[@Starfish56]

@@kqed yes absolutely.

[@JaneDoeDoeDeeOhDoe]

Thank you, Jacques. Between this recipe and chicken with spinach, I now have another vegetable in my repertoire.

Proud to be french only when I can watch Jacques Pépin cooking !

[@kqed]

Thanks for watching!

[@loribach534]

Happy eating Jaques!

[@Blublod]

I’ve been sautéing spinach like this for many decades with the only variation that I don’t add butter but I do add fresh squeezed lemon juice at the end. Try it.

[@FrankPetersonIII]

Thanks, Jacques.

[@kqed]

Thanks for watching!

[@saltychampion2518]

If I stuck my hands in that pan like that,I would have been flinching like a doctor checking My reflexes with a rubber hammer. Not only is he a Legend,He has Hands of Steel.

[@williampalchak7574]

One of our favorites. We like to lightly saute some thinly sliced red or sweet onion with it as well.

[@kqed]

Yum! Happy cooking.

[@teodorageorgieva3410]

Thank you for the video! I'll try the recipe tomorrow, seems simple enough that even I can manage it. I wish you a lovely morning/day/evening!

[@arturhakobyan6850]

I do the same way. From time to time I put an egg or two on top... 😊❤❤❤

[@kqed]

Yum!

[@Kent-qo6xp]

So nice! I cry for lemon juice on it.

[@Kent-qo6xp]

By that I mean a little.

[@ownpetard8379]

Due respect to Jacques, but sweated spinach/greens/beans without lemon juice is uncivilized.

[@apistosig4173]

Try chuckin' in some rosemary with the garlic - yummo!

[@JamesBrown-i2e]

That looks like a simple and delicious way to prepare spinach. Thank you Jacques

Best I had was to the boil the spinach, and mix it with fresh garlic+sesame oil+soy sauce. I believe it's a Korean recipe.

[@Alexa-pe8ie]

Love the way he seasons the spinach w/ Teflon.

I trow pecorino on top very tasty 😊😊

[@Toobula]

Had some beautifully cooked spinach last night at the local restaurant and it was perfect, EXCEPT they added red pepper flakes so it was spicy. I don't think that improved it at all.

[@TheTLElliott]

Do you ever cut the stems off first? Seems it would be a more elegant result.

[@jacksonlsu]

And red wine vinegar! 😁
