Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach

    Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Aromatics

    Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

  3. 3

    Toast the Pine Nuts

    In a dry frying pan over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become soft and translucent.

  2. 5

    Add Spinach and Tomatoes

    Add the washed spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are soft.

  3. 6

    Season the Dish

    Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  4. 7

    Add Raisins and Pine Nuts

    Fold in the toasted pine nuts and sultana raisins into the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate and Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
