    Spinach with pine nuts and raisins

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 pounds spinach
    2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
    2 small yellow onions or 6 green onions, minced
    4 tablespoons raisins, plumped in hot water and drained
    4 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Recipe



    Spinach with pine nuts and raisins is a classic Sephardic dish that appears on tables in Greece, Spain, Turkey, and Italy, where it is a staple on Venetian and Genoese menus. It is a perfect accompaniment to delicate fish or poultry dishes and is often served at room temperature.
    Rinse the spinach well and remove the stems. Place in a large saut� pan with only the rinsing water clinging to the leaves. Cook over medium heat, turning as needed until wilted, just a few minutes. Drain well and set aside. Add the olive oil to the now-empty pan and place over medium heat. Add the onions and saut� until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the spinach, raisins, and pine nuts and saut� briefly to warm through. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm or at room temperature.

    Makes 6 servings.
