Provided by Rachel Roddy

Categories     Sides

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup raisins or golden raisins
1 pound regular or baby spinach
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons (3/4 oz) unsalted butter
1/4 cup pine nuts
Salt

Steps:

  • Soak the raisins in a bowl with enough warm water to cover for 10 minutes.
  • Rinse the spinach in a couple changes of cold water. Discard any wilted or bruised leaves and trim away any thick, woody stalks.
  • Place the spinach in a large pan with nothing but the water that clings to the leaves, cover the pan, and cook over low heat until the spinach has collapsed and is tender. This should take 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the spinach to a colander and drain. Once it's cool enough, squeeze it with your hands to eliminate any excess liquid.
  • Meanwhile, peel and gently crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife.
  • In a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-low heat, gently cook the garlic until fragrant and lightly golden and then remove it. Add the butter to the pan, let it foam slightly, then add the pine nuts and turn them in the oil before adding the spinach and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 minutes, or just until the spinach leaves glisten.
  • Drain the raisins and add them to the pan, gently turn the ingredients a couple more times, and serve immediately.
