SPINACH WITH SHALLOTS, PINE NUTS, AND GOLDEN RAISINS



Spinach with Shallots, Pine Nuts, and Golden Raisins image

Categories     Nut     Fry     Steam     Low Fat     Raisin     Pine Nut     Spinach     Fall     Shallot

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chicken stock (page 227) or low-fat, reduced-sodium chicken broth, heated
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
2 pounds spinach, dandelion, or chard, tough stems removed
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the raisins in a small bowl. Pour over the heated chicken stock. Let rest to plump and rehydrate, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a large heavy-duty skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the spinach, and stir-fry until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the golden raisins, discarding the liquid or reserving for another use. Add the drained raisins and toasted pine nuts. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
  • toasting nuts
  • Toasting nuts really brings out their flavor. Toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Or place them on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 350°F until brown and toasted, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash spinach thoroughly: Rinse spinach under cold water several times to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the spinach to cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Cook spinach over medium heat: Medium heat will help to wilt the spinach quickly and evenly without burning it.
  • Stir spinach frequently: Stirring the spinach frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and will help it to cook evenly.
  • Add shallots and pine nuts: Shallots and pine nuts add flavor and texture to the spinach.
  • Add golden raisins: Golden raisins add a touch of sweetness and chewiness to the spinach.
  • Season to taste: Season the spinach with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Spinach is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

This recipe for spinach with shallots, pine nuts, and golden raisins is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
