Servings: persons

1 lb fresh spinach
12 red onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 medium tomatoes, diced
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 ounce diced pecorino cheese or 1 ounce parmesan cheese or 1 ounce mozzarella cheese or 1 ounce cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup water

1
Over med-high heat, saute garlic and onions in Worcestershire sauce and olive oil until fragrant and onion is becoming transparent.
2
Add bacon, tomato, and vinegar, saute until the tomato releases its juice and becomes soft (~2 min.)
3
There should be some liquid released from the tomatoes in the pan, if not, add some water very sparingly and mix cheeses in until the chunks begin to dissolve.
4
Bring mixture to a near boil, stirring well; add spinach leaves.
5
Toss and cover for a minute, continue to toss and cover until the spinach has wilted and is covered in the thin cheese sauce.
6
Allow spinach to cook with top removed ~3-5 minutes, as necessary, to reduce cheese sauce.
7
Sauce may remain thinner than most cheese sauces, but will still impart loads of flavour to the spinach.
8
Drizzle left-over sauce over potatoes or rice, or mop it up with bread.
