I think I could eat plain sauteed spinach every day of the week and be happy, but sometimes it’s fun to dress it up a bit. This recipe from Eating Well puts a Catalan spin on spinach with pine nuts and sweet golden raisins to brighten things up.
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons golden raisins
1 tablespoon pine nuts
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 ounces 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
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.
Ingredient 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.

Great fruit.
Sounds Great!!
I have made most of my friends from the workplace because I worked in the same place for over twenty…
mmmmmmmmm. A shower with all of the right scents brought into play. Oh yeah.
for an adult touch, maybe add a bit of raspberry vodka?

Love spinach.
I have never tasted kale before and we currently have a huge amount growing in our garden. I looked up recipes, found yours, made it last night and I LOVE IT! I actually made it again this morning for breakfast and will keep making your recipe until I get sick of it. Thanks for helping me get my vitamins!

I tried this over the weekend and found that 2 tsp of basalmic vinegar made it so that's all I could really taste, but it was still good. Maybe my bunch of spinach was smaller than the recipe's...so next time I'll give 1 tsp a try. I used walnuts instead of pine nuts.
Sound&looks delicious!...One comment: Do never heath the olive oil! Its not healthy,and destroy the taste.I suggest to use: cornoil,sunflower,soya or (Raps)dont know the name in english?(yellow field)?I think I will just heath the onions and the nuts,and use the rest in natural.Cant wait to try! ;))I love Italien food.greetings from Norway
