Looking for a delicious side dish to serve with dinner? This spinach and pine nut recipe is fast, easy and healthy and pairs well with meats and pasta. Read more about it on my RV Cooking Show blog at http://rvcookingshow.blogspot.com/2008/02/pine-cone-ponderings.html.
Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large saute pan – can be non-stick or not.
Add chopped garlic and cook until soft and fragrant – a minute or two is all it takes.
Watch the garlic carefully so you don’t burn it. If it gets brown and crisp it becomes bitter and you’ll have to start over.
Add spinach a large handful at a time until all spinach is in the pan. Cook until wilted.
The spinach is done when it’s wilted but still a nice bright green.
Add salt and pepper to taste and stir well.
Add toasted pine nuts and stir well.
Serve with a bowl of grated parmesan cheese on the table – allowing each diner to sprinkle cheese on their portions as desired.
Did you know that pine cones make excellent campfire starters? Pick an armful up next time you go camping in a piney area and see what you think.
