ingredients
- 2 tablespoons spanish extra virgin olive oil
- 1 gravenstein apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4 inch cubes (read *NOTE)
- 1⁄4 cup pine nuts
- 1⁄4 cup seedless dark raisin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 10 ounces fresh Baby Spinach, washed and patted dry (I use a salad spinner)
directions
- *NOTE: Original recipe specified a golden delicious apple. However any apple variety that holds its shape well for baking will work in this recipe: Rome beauty, braeburn, gala, for example.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium-high flame.
- When the oil is very hot, add the apple cubes and cook until they are lightly browned; about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the pine nuts and cook until they are lightly browned; about 20-30 seconds. Watch pan carefully as the pine nuts can burn quite easily! *Constantly stir the nuts to avoid burning.*.
- Add the raisins and the 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir together. Add the spinach and sauté very fast until it just starts to wilt; about another 20-30 seconds.
- Now remove the pan from the heat; the spinach will continue to wilt off the heat.
- Add salt to taste, and serve immediately.

5 star all the way - Delicious spinach recipe. Easy to mske - get everything ready a head of time and, as the intro says "Do not overcook the Spinach". It takes less than 5 minutes - just let it wilt & get hot right through. I only had golden raisins at home and they were a bit old so I plumped them up in a mixture of brandy & water - Let them soak for about 6 hours - Nice Definitiely a recipe that will be made again
