Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 10-ounce packages ready-to-use fresh spinach leaves or 4 large bunches, trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 cup (generous) pitted quartered brine-cured olives (such as Kalamata)
1/3 cup (generous) raisins
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Place colander over large bowl. Line colander with kitchen towel. Toss 1/3 of spinach in heavy Dutch oven over high heat until wilted but still bright green, about 3 minutes. Transfer spinach to prepared colander. Repeat with remaining spinach in 2 batches. Let spinach cool briefly. Gather towel around spinach and squeeze well, pressing out as much liquid as possible. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped garlic, olives and raisins and sauté until garlic begins to color, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and toasted pine nuts and toss until heated through. Add vinegar and toss. Season spinach generously with salt and pepper and serve.

This was a great recipe! I used fresh spinach from my garden and it was so flavorful. I also added some feta cheese, which was a nice addition. Thanks for sharing!

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used canned spinach, which worked just fine. I also added some chopped red onion, which gave it a nice crunch. Thanks for sharing!

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this dish was actually really good! The flavors were well-balanced and the pine nuts added a nice texture. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The only change I made was to add a little bit of garlic. I will definitely be making this again.
