Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in each of 2 heavy large pots over high heat. Divide apples between pots and sauté until golden brown around edges, about 3 minutes. Divide pine nuts between pots; sauté until pine nuts are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to each pot. Divide shallots and raisins between pots; stir to combine. Divide spinach between pots; cover and cook just until wilted, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to bowl and serve.

6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup pine nuts
3 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup raisins
3 9-ounce packages fresh spinach

SPINACH WITH RAISINS AND PINE NUTS (ESPINACS A LA CATALANA)

An addictive melange of spinach, garlic, raisins, pine nuts and good olive oil, this is one of the best Catalan dishes. Its uses in the Catalan kitchen are many - in croquettes or egg tortillas, as a topping for cocas (flat breads), as a filling for savory turnovers or cannelloni, or as a base for baked fish. As a side dish, it goes with just about anything, and nothing beats it in the morning on toast, topped with poached eggs. The recipe is also great made with other wilted greens, such as chard or escarole. Adapted from "The New Spanish Table" cookbook.

Spinach With Raisins and Pine Nuts (Espinacs a La Catalana) image

Steps:

  • Place the raisins in a small bowl, add very hot water to cover, and soak until plump, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels, then set aside.
  • Rinse, but do not drain the spinach. Place the spinach in a large saucepan over medium heat and cover the pan. Cook the spinach in the water that clings to its leaves until just wilted, 4-5 minutes, stirring a few times.
  • Transfer the spinach to a colander and squeeze out the excess moisture by pressing on the spinach with the back of a spoon. Chop the spinach coarsely. (The spinach can be prepared a few hours ahead up to this point).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over low heat. Add the garlic, pine nuts, and soaked raisins and cook until the nuts and garlic are light golden, 3-5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium, add the chopped spinach and cook for about 1 minute, stirring to combine evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Espinaca a La Catalan (Catalan-Style Spinach) image

Steps:

  • *NOTE: Original recipe specified a golden delicious apple. However any apple variety that holds its shape well for baking will work in this recipe: Rome beauty, braeburn, gala, for example.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium-high flame.
  • When the oil is very hot, add the apple cubes and cook until they are lightly browned; about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the pine nuts and cook until they are lightly browned; about 20-30 seconds. Watch pan carefully as the pine nuts can burn quite easily! *Constantly stir the nuts to avoid burning.*.
  • Add the raisins and the 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir together. Add the spinach and sauté very fast until it just starts to wilt; about another 20-30 seconds.
  • Now remove the pan from the heat; the spinach will continue to wilt off the heat.
  • Add salt to taste, and serve immediately.
