Catalan Spinach

Looking for something to round out our tapas meal, I searched for a spinach recipe and came across this one. Perfect, easy and I love currants and pine nuts. It's another one that I wish we had leftovers from! This fed two adults.

Ingredients:

2 bunches fresh spinach, washed thoroughly
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
3 T pine nuts

3 T dried currants or raisins

Olive oil

 

Directions:

• Steam the spinach for only 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and allow to drain thoroughly.
• Pour a few tablespoons of olive oil to cover the bottom of a large frying pan. Heat pan on medium and sauté garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add the currants and pine nuts to the pan and continue to sauté for 1 minute. Add the drained spinach to the pan and mix well, coating with oil. Salt to taste.
