Sautéed Spinach with Toasted Pine Nuts

Spinach is what I consider a "power food."  It is packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, folate, iron, niacin, omega-3's and even protein.  This recipe might make you forget about everything I just said, because it tastes so darn good.

Basic ingredients:

Fresh spinach (you can easily use 1/2 to an entire bag, since it shrinks down so much when cooked)
Minced garlic
Fresh ground pepper
Golden raisins- Trader Joe's are my fav
Pine nuts
Olive Oil

1) Start by warming a small amount of olive oil in a sauté pan.  Add garlic, pine nuts and cook until they're toasted golden brown.

2) Next add the golden raisins.  These are a little heat sensitive, but can be lightly cooked.

3) Finally, add spinach and stir until it begins to wilt.  This won't take long!

Notice there are no real amounts given in this recipe, because I don't like to measure.  :)  Just go with what looks good, I promise you can't mess this one up!


4) Top with freshly grated black pepper, then serve.

Enjoy!
