About This Recipe

"Another variation on the spinach/raisin/pine nut theme. This comes from the Williams-Sonoma website. 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

Put the raisins in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
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.
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.
Add spinach and cook 1-2 minutes until bright green and wilted. Stir in raisins and nuts and season with salt and pepper.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

Reviews

"A nice take on fresh spinach. The pine nuts were lightly toasted and the raisins were plumped in the microwave for a few seconds. I did add in a touch of freshly ground nutmeg but no made no other changes. Delicious with the toasted nuts and light sweetness of the raisins."
