Catalan Spinach with Pine Nuts and Raisins (Egg-Free)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Spinach
• 1/4 cup Pine Nuts
• 1/4 cup Raisins
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Arrowroot Powder
• 1 tbsp Water
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Rinse the 1 lb of Spinach thoroughly under cool water and then drain it very well to remove excess water.
2. 2In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 tsp of Arrowroot Powder and the 1 tbsp of Water until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no lumps.
3. 3Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 2 tbsp of Olive Oil and let it heat up for about 30 seconds.
4. 4Add the 2 cloves of Garlic, which have been minced, to the hot oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant, which should take about 1 minute. Do not let it brown.
5. 5Add the 1 lb of Spinach to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted down, which will take approximately 3-5 minutes.
6. 6Stir in the 1/4 cup of Pine Nuts, the 1/4 cup of Raisins, and the smooth arrowroot mixture. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the spinach.
7. 7Season the spinach mixture with the 1/4 tsp of Salt and the 1/4 tsp of Black Pepper. Stir to combine.
8. 8Serve the Catalan Spinach warm.
