    Serves: 4

    Cooked spinach gets some crunch to it.

    INGREDIENTS
    1/2 cup plump golden raisins (may use regular raisins too)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 cup pine nuts
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1 1/4 lbs. baby spinach leaves
    2 tablespoons fresh grated lemon peel
    salt and pepper to taste

    DIRECTIONS
    1. Place raisins in a bowl and pour boiling water over them until just covered and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly, then set aside.

    2. Heat oil in a large skillet, over medium-high heat then add pine nuts and sauté until they turn golden. Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Stir in raisins and then add spinach leaves. Stir ingredients until spinach has wilted, about 1 minute.

    3. Remove from heat and add lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
