A delightful Catalan-inspired spinach dish featuring apples, nuts, and raisins for a perfect balance of flavors.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when the apple is added, but not smoking.
Add the apple cubes to the pan and sauté until lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
Cut the apple into uniform cubes for even cooking.
Add the pine nuts to the pan and toast for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Keep stirring the nuts to ensure they toast evenly without burning.
Stir in the raisins and salt, mixing well.
The raisins will plump slightly as they heat, adding a lovely texture.
Add the spinach and sauté quickly until just wilted, about 1 minute.
Add the spinach in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the pan from heat and serve immediately.
Serve the dish warm to enjoy the best flavors and textures.
