Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon minced shallots
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons golden raisins (or currants), plumped in water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
- 2 dashes sherry vinegar or fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 5 cups packed baby spinach
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil and heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until softened. Add the raisins and cook until warm, about 1 minute. Add the pine nuts, increase the heat, and add the sherry vinegar. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add the butter and melt, then add the spinach and stir or toss with tongs until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Delicious. I was home alone and planned to grill a NY strip. Wanted something different instead of the salad. Found half a bag of baby spinach in the fridge so I looked up this recipe on FN. Had most of the ingredients on hand. I substituted plain old raisins in stead of the sultanas and not having sherry vinegar, or a lemon, I made up some sherry vinegar with a shot of Sherry wine and a couple of drops of white wine vinegar. It worked. The vinegar caused the sherry to instantly turn to vinegar. Very tasty and simple

Great recipe instead of plumping the raisins in water I used some whisky and id tasted better this time instead of the original recipe.

Easy - delicious! Did not have sherry vinegar, so I added about 1 1/2 TBS Sherry and 1 TBS cider vinegar. Also doubled pine nuts and golden raisins. This served 6 of us, but we could have easily had more. Must double next time! Thanks for a perfect side!
