I'm always looking for a way to cook an ordinary vegetable so that it looks pretty and is tasty. I really think I found one in this dish.
We know spinach is good for us. Walnuts are, too. So I combined them to make spinach tasty, interesting and pretty enough to eat.
I think you'll agree that this is an easy to prepare dish with few ingredients. And isn't that a good thing for a cook with very little time?
Spinach With Walnuts and Raisins
1 Tablespoon Joe and Son's Walnut Oil
1 medium onion..finely diced
3 cloves of garlic...finely minced
2 bags of fresh spinach...(I used two 9 oz bags of spinach from Publix.)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup Craisins...but you could use golden raisins if you prefer
Salt and Pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese as a light topping
In a large saute pan,warm the Walnut Oil over low/medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook for a few minutes until they become tender. Add the spinach to the pan in batches and continue to cook until the spinach starts to become soft. Add the walnuts and craisins. Continue to stir and cook until the spinach wilts but is still a bright color. You don't want to overcook this. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the spinach if you like.
