Spinach With Onions & Pine Nuts

Spanish-inspired recipe - by Amy Sinclair
  • 20 May 2019
Spinach With Onions & Pine Nuts
Prep: 5 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - easy - Serves 6-8
Proudly supported by

Fresh Christmas vegetables

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

2 large onions, thinly sliced

50g/2oz butter

50g/2oz pine nuts

2 garlic cloves, crushed

grating of nutmeg

1 tbsp sherry vinegar

2 x 500g bags spinach

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large, deep pan. Add the onions, cover, then gently fry for 15 mins until soft and almost transparent. Add the butter and pine nuts, turn up the heat, then fry for 5 mins more or until the onions are dark golden. Stir in the garlic, grate in a little nutmeg, then fry for 1 min. Splash in vinegar.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the largest pan you have until very hot. Throw in half the spinach, cover for 20 secs, then stir until just wilted. Tip into a colander set over a bowl, then repeat with the second bag of spinach.

  3. To serve, toss the cooked spinach into onion mix and season generously.

  4. Try It With Winter Greens:

    Follow the recipe to the end of step 1, adding 8 rashers chopped streaky bacon to the pan with the pine nuts. Trim and shred 800g kale, then boil in salted water for about 4 mins until just tender. Drain, season generously, then toss with the tasty onion mix.
