Categories     Appetizer

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2.5 pounds just over 1kg fresh baby spinach leaves
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more to serve)
1/3 cup pine nuts
2 cloves of garlic (finely sliced)
Salt and pepper (to season)

Steps:

  • Place all of the raisins in a small bowl and cover with water. Put to one side and leave them to rehydrate.
  • To prepare the spinach, wash any dirt or soil off of the leaves, and trim the stalks (not necessary if using baby spinach). Once clean, place in a large pot with the salt and water over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.
  • Strain through a colander and gently squeeze with your hands to remove any excess water. Leave in a colander over a bowl to continue draining.
  • Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat and add the pine nuts. Toast the pine nuts until they are lightly golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Shake the pan quite a bit to move the nuts around and toast evenly on all sides. Remove the nuts from the pan and place on a plate to one side.
  • Put the pan back on the heat. Add the olive oil and increase the heat to medium. When the olive oil is hot, add the garlic and begin to fry until lightly golden (about 1-2 minutes).
  • Drain the raisins and add them to the pan. Also add the spinach, stirring to mix together with the raisins and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until any excess water has evaporated completely.
  • Add the pine nuts back into the pan and stir to combine everything.
  • Remove the pan from heat and serve immediately. Season with salt, pepper, and more olive oil.

SPINACH WITH RAISINS AND PINE NUTS (ESPINACS A LA CATALANA)



Spinach With Raisins and Pine Nuts (Espinacs a La Catalana) image

An addictive melange of spinach, garlic, raisins, pine nuts and good olive oil, this is one of the best Catalan dishes. Its uses in the Catalan kitchen are many - in croquettes or egg tortillas, as a topping for cocas (flat breads), as a filling for savory turnovers or cannelloni, or as a base for baked fish. As a side dish, it goes with just about anything, and nothing beats it in the morning on toast, topped with poached eggs. The recipe is also great made with other wilted greens, such as chard or escarole. Adapted from "The New Spanish Table" cookbook.

Categories     Spinach

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons raisins (golden or dark)
2 bunches fresh spinach, tough stems removed
4 tablespoons fragrant extra virgin olive oil
8 whole small peeled garlic cloves, lightly mashed
5 tablespoons pine nuts
coarse salt & freshly ground black pepper (kosher or sea)

Steps:

  • Place the raisins in a small bowl, add very hot water to cover, and soak until plump, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels, then set aside.
  • Rinse, but do not drain the spinach. Place the spinach in a large saucepan over medium heat and cover the pan. Cook the spinach in the water that clings to its leaves until just wilted, 4-5 minutes, stirring a few times.
  • Transfer the spinach to a colander and squeeze out the excess moisture by pressing on the spinach with the back of a spoon. Chop the spinach coarsely. (The spinach can be prepared a few hours ahead up to this point).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over low heat. Add the garlic, pine nuts, and soaked raisins and cook until the nuts and garlic are light golden, 3-5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium, add the chopped spinach and cook for about 1 minute, stirring to combine evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound spinach
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons raisins, soaked in water for 15 minutes

Steps:

  • Wash the spinach, and remove stems only if they are thick and tough. Drain, and press the excess water out. Put the leaves in a pan with the lid on. Cook over low heat for moments only, until they crumple to a soft mass. They will steam in the water that clings to them.
