This was a really tasty side dish. Actually, it was two side dishes because it had tomatoes and spinach and rice. I was so glad this called for fresh spinach because I dislike using the frozen stuff. The toasted pine nuts were a wonderful addition because of their 'tooth" value. Would not hesitate to serve this to company. Thnx for posting, Cheryl. Made for My-3-Chefs Spring 2008.
