SPINACH WITH RAISINS AND PINE NUTS (ESPINACS A LA CATALANA)



Spinach With Raisins and Pine Nuts (Espinacs a La Catalana) image

An addictive melange of spinach, garlic, raisins, pine nuts and good olive oil, this is one of the best Catalan dishes. Its uses in the Catalan kitchen are many - in croquettes or egg tortillas, as a topping for cocas (flat breads), as a filling for savory turnovers or cannelloni, or as a base for baked fish. As a side dish, it goes with just about anything, and nothing beats it in the morning on toast, topped with poached eggs. The recipe is also great made with other wilted greens, such as chard or escarole. Adapted from "The New Spanish Table" cookbook.

Time 25m

6 tablespoons raisins (golden or dark)
2 bunches fresh spinach, tough stems removed
4 tablespoons fragrant extra virgin olive oil
8 whole small peeled garlic cloves, lightly mashed
5 tablespoons pine nuts
coarse salt & freshly ground black pepper (kosher or sea)

Tips for Making the Perfect Spinach with Olives, Raisins, and Pine Nuts:

1. Choose Fresh Ingredients: Opt for vibrant, crisp spinach, plump raisins, juicy olives, and fresh pine nuts for the best flavor and texture. 2. Utilize Quality Olive Oil: Use extra virgin olive oil for a rich, fruity flavor that complements the other ingredients. 3. Toast Pine Nuts for Enhanced Flavor: Toasting pine nuts in a pan or the oven brings out their nutty aroma and adds a delightful crunch to the dish. 4. Don't Overcook the Spinach: Spinach cooks quickly, so wilt it just until it reaches your desired tenderness to preserve its nutrients and vibrant color. 5. Balance Sweetness and Acidity: Adjust the amount of raisins and lemon juice to suit your taste preferences, ensuring a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity. 6. Let the Dish Rest: After cooking, allow the spinach mixture to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the spinach to absorb the dressing.
