Spinach with garlic, pine nuts and raisins

Ingredients:
  • 675g fresh spinach
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
  • 60g currants or raisins
  • 60g Pine kernels
  • freshly grated nutmeg
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper



Method

1. Rinse the spinach thoroughly, and then pat dry in kitchen paper or a clean tea towel. This quantity of spinach will need to be cooked in two batches, so divide the spinach and all other ingredients in half and arrange next to the hob.

2. Put a large wok over a high heat and leave it until it smokes. Add half the olive oil, and than add half the garlic and half the anchovies. Stir-fry for a few seconds, then add half the spinach, half the raisins or currants, half the pine nuts, and salt, pepper and nutmeg.

3. Stir-fry briskly for a few minutes, until the spinach has begun to soften and wilt. Scoop out immediately into a warm serving dish. Quickly repeat the whole process with the rest of the ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve immediately.
