Recipe

Sauteed Spinach with Pine Nuts & Golden Raisins

This is another way to make the greatest vegetable on earth—spinach!

Times

  • Prep Time : 15 min min
  • Ready Time : 15 min

Servings

2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons golden raisins
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag fresh spinach (see Ingredient note), tough stems removed
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon shaved Parmesan cheese
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add raisins, pine nuts and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar and salt. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan and pepper.

Tips

Note: The sturdier texture of mature spinach stands up better to sauteing than baby spinach and it’s a more economical choice. We prefer to serve baby spinach raw.
