Espinacas a la Catalan

I had this in a tapas restaurant and it was so dammed good I had to make it myself.  It's spinach and lots of it reduced down to this dense flavourful dish

What you need
  • spinach
  • pine nuts
  • garlic
  • rasins (or dried cranberries, dates)
  • olive oil
  • cider vinegar (or balsamic)
  • salt and pepper
To do this in a single pot
Put some olive oil in a pot and sautee the finely chopped garlic.  Toss in the pine nuts too.
Add all the spinach... a whole bag... if the leaves are too large, chop them up a bit... fill the pot and put a lid on it
The spinach will reduce down to about 1/5 it's size when cooked
Stir in the dried fruit with a spash of vinegar and olive oil (if needed) some salt and pepper
Serve warm
