Catalan Spinach Salad Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large wok. Add the shallot, pine nuts and raisins and cook until golden.

Step 2: Add the spinach, and toss the leaves with the other ingredients (as you would a salad). The idea is to warm the spinach through — be careful not to overcook it.

Step 3: Season to taste and serve immediately.
