Method

  • step 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.

  • step 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.

  • step 3

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

A very nice side dish, if rather heavy on the butter. I served it with salmon en croûte, potato croquettes, and chantenay carrots for Christmas lunch.

Made no alterations and we liked it. But next time I will use less butter.

Not bad. Used the recipe to use up some unused spinach leftover from another meal. Added mushrooms in with the onion but used red wine vinegar as I didn't have sherry. Could have been tastier though. I think it needs something extra, perhaps some chilli flakes through the spinach.

Not bad but think white wine would give better flavour than the vinegar. Not a great fan of spinach but as is this was the best spinach dish I've eaten so will cook it again. Served it with my recipe for squid stuffed with black pudding with a sticky tomato sauce
