Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh spinach
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 40 grams Pine nuts
- 40 grams Sliced almonds
- 30 grams Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water and let it drain in a colander. If the spinach leaves are large, chop them roughly.
Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and sliced almonds to the dry pan and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn golden and fragrant. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, ensuring it doesn't burn.
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently to wilt it down. Once all the spinach is added and wilted, cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender.
Stir in the raisins, toasted pine nuts, and sliced almonds. Mix well to combine.
Season with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it with crusty bread for a light meal.
