Spinach with Pine Nuts and Raisins

Pine nuts and raisins are a winning combination that complement each other so well in this dish. Though any dark leafy green will work here, we chose spinach because it cooks so quickly. Plumping the raisins is key to getting the most sweetness and best texture for the dish. Toast your pine nuts lightly for added depth of flavor. Serve this side dish with roasted pork loin or chicken. Salmon fillets also plate well with this side and, for a dinner party would be perfect as the raisins sit like jewels in the deep green of the spinach making for a beautiful presentation.
