However andy ripe tomatoes are great choices. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> A brown or white onion works best, adding a subtle sweetness as it cooks down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Fresh garlic provides the best flavour, but garlic paste can be used if that's what you have on hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Spinach:<\/strong> Fresh spinach wilts down quickly and gives the best texture. Frozen spinach isn't recommended as it releases too much water and can make the dish watery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomato Paste:<\/strong> Adds richness and intensifies the tomato flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken or Vegetable Stock:<\/strong> Use chicken stock for extra depth of flavour or vegetable stock to keep the dish vegetarian.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balsamic Vinegar:<\/strong> A good-quality balsamic vinegar makes all the difference, adding the perfect balance of sweetness and tang.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive Oil Spray:<\/strong> Olive oil spray works well, but you can use any cooking spray or a small drizzle of olive oil instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and Black Pepper:<\/strong> Season to taste, adjusting the amount depending on how salty your stock is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This balsamic tomatoes and spinach recipe is easy to adapt with a few simple swaps and additions to suit your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use canned tomatoes:<\/strong> Fresh tomatoes are definitely the best choice for this recipe, but if you're short on time, you can use a good-quality brand of canned  tomatoes in a rich tomato juice. Just bear in mind the flavour and texture won't be quite the same.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add mushrooms:<\/strong> Sliced mushrooms are a great addition and pair beautifully with the tomatoes and spinach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Include peppers:<\/strong> Red, yellow or orange bell peppers add extra sweetness and colour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add some heat:<\/strong> Stir in a pinch of chilli flakes or a finely chopped chilli for a little kick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boost the flavour:<\/strong> Add a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, dried oregano or smoked paprika.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swap the spinach:<\/strong> Baby kale or Swiss chard can be used instead of spinach, although they may need a few extra minutes to soften.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try different onions:<\/strong> Red onion can be used in place of brown or white onion for a slightly sweeter flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it cheesy:<\/strong> Sprinkle over a little crumbled feta, grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add fresh herbs:<\/strong> Finish with chopped basil, parsley or fresh thyme for extra freshness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it heartier:<\/strong> Stir through some cooked white beans or chickpeas to turn it into a more substantial side dish or light lunch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8.jpg\" alt=\"balsamic tomatoes and spinach on toast with eggs on a turquoise plate\" class=\"wp-image-48032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-180x240.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-560x747.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/balsamic-tomatoes-spinach-8-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-group-lightbulb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Peel Tomatoes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peeling tomatoes is often the part that puts people off using fresh tomatoes, as the traditional method involves scoring the skin, blanching them in boiling water and then peeling them once they've cooled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I rarely bother with all of that. Instead, I use a <strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2mJvAYm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">handy serrated vegetable peelers<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, which works brilliantly on soft-skinned fruit and vegetables like tomatoes. The small serrated teeth grip the skin easily, allowing you to peel the tomatoes quickly without any blanching. It's also fantastic for peeling kiwis, peaches and other soft fruit, making it one of my favourite little kitchen tools.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-branding-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving<strong> <\/strong>Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This balsamic tomatoes and spinach is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-circle-number-list\">\n<li>Top with a little <strong>crumbled feta or grated Parmesan<\/strong> just before serving for an extra burst of flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My favourite way to serve it is <strong>over crispy oven-baked toast<\/strong> with a couple of sunny-side-up eggs for a delicious, protein-packed breakfast.
