Another variation on the spinach/raisin/pine nut theme. I have never actually made it with raisins or pine nuts - I usually use slivered almonds and currants and it turns out great. Perfect accompaniment to just about anything. Ingredients:
1/4 cup golden raisins, dark raisins or 1/4 cup currants |
1/4 cup pine nuts or 1/4 cup slivered almonds |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 yellow onion, finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 lbs baby spinach |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Put the raisins in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2. If desired, toast pine nuts or almonds in a pan over medium heat, being careful not to burn them. Remove and set aside on a plate.
3. In a large saute pan, warm olive oil over medium heat and saute onion until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute one minute more.
4. Add spinach and cook 1-2 minutes until bright green and wilted. Stir in raisins and nuts and season with salt and pepper.
5. Serve hot or at room temperature.
