Excellent flavor. I did not add raisins and only cooked the spinach once. Apprx 5 minutes added to the garlic & pinenuts. The spices were added to the spinach as it cooked - we loved it Thanks BrownieZ for another tasty spinach recupe

My husband loved this and he is a picky eater at times. I did, too. I did add some smoked ham slices, chopped. I had no pine nuts so i used pecans. The nutmag is wonderful! This is a keeper.

This was totally delicious. I didn't add the garlic as I can't have any at the moment, but I loved it. The only thing I will change next time is to roast the pine nuts first. But there'll certainly be a next time!
