Steps:
- Place all of the raisins in a small bowl and cover with water. Put to one side and leave them to rehydrate.
- To prepare the spinach, wash any dirt or soil off of the leaves, and trim the stalks (not necessary if using baby spinach). Once clean, place in a large pot with the salt and water over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.
- Strain through a colander and gently squeeze with your hands to remove any excess water. Leave in a colander over a bowl to continue draining.
- Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat and add the pine nuts. Toast the pine nuts until they are lightly golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Shake the pan quite a bit to move the nuts around and toast evenly on all sides. Remove the nuts from the pan and place on a plate to one side.
- Put the pan back on the heat. Add the olive oil and increase the heat to medium. When the olive oil is hot, add the garlic and begin to fry until lightly golden (about 1-2 minutes).
- Drain the raisins and add them to the pan. Also add the spinach, stirring to mix together with the raisins and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until any excess water has evaporated completely.
- Add the pine nuts back into the pan and stir to combine everything.
- Remove the pan from heat and serve immediately. Season with salt, pepper, and more olive oil.

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

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely before using.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly: Spinach can be gritty, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using.
- Cook the spinach until it is just wilted: Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a variety of nuts and seeds: Pine nuts are a classic addition to spinach, but you can also use walnuts, almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.
- Add some dried fruit: Dried cranberries, raisins, or cherries add a sweet and tart flavor to spinach.
- Season the spinach to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon juice are all common seasonings for spinach.
Conclusion:
Spinach with pine nuts and raisins is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
