Sicilian-Style Sautéed Spinach with Pine Nuts
Sicilian-style sautéed spinach with pine nuts is a classic side built on wilted spinach, garlic, and golden raisins, sweet and savory in the same bite. The pine nuts echo Carusia's own signature note directly, one of the most direct pairings in the collection.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces baby spinach
- 3 tablespoons Carusia
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat Carusia in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the pine nuts and toast 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden.
- Add the spinach in batches, tossing each batch until wilted before adding the next, about 3 minutes total, this keeps it from steaming into a soggy pile.
- Stir in the golden raisins and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm, straight from the pan.
