Spinach with raisins and pine nuts

Serves 4

• 800g – 1kg os spinach, washed and though stems removed
• a handful raisins (soaked in boiling water for 2 minutes and drained)
• a handful to toasted pine nuts
• 1-2 cloves of garlic
• butter 30-40 grams (depending on how much of spinach you are using)
• salt
• pepper
• olive oil

*freshly squeezed lemon juice to drizzle on top of the finished dish

Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy based pan and gently fry the garlic (crashed with the back of the knife against the chopping board) until it gains a pale brown colour.

Now add the spinach and stir. It will wilt down very quickly and reduce in size.

That should just take a couple of minutes.

Now remove the spinach and drain of the excess water.

Melt the butter in a pan, add the raisins, pine nuts and the spinach. Stir for a couple of minutes until warm (but not over cooked) and add the seasoning to your taste.

Drizzle lemon juice on top and serve while still warm.
