Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb organic spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoon hazelnuts, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon pine nuts
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional: pinch of black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Over medium-high heat, warm a large soup pot. Add the oil and garlic. Stir in garlic for a minute.
  • Add in the raisins, optional lemon, pine nuts and chopped hazelnuts. Stir for about thirty seconds, allowing the oil to warm the nuts and soften the raisins a bit.
  • Reduce heat to low and add in the spinach. Using tongs of a large spoon, stir the leaves into the hot oil mixture, letting the hot liquid coat and wilt the leaves. Place a top on the pot for about thirty seconds to a minute, allowing the steam to further soften the leaves. Remove the lid and keep gently tossing the leaves until they are all wilted and greatly condensed. The nuts and raisins should be nicely folded into the leaves.
  • Plate the spinach and serve while warm.
