Sautéed Spinach with Pine Nuts & Raisins

Pine nuts and sweet golden raisins brighten up sautéed spinach.

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

Prep/Cook Time: 15 Minutes, Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 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
• ⅛ 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. 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.
