Genoese-Style Spinach

Ingredients

To prepare the Genoese-style spinach, start by soaking the raisins in a bowl of warm water for about 15 minutes to rehydrate. Wash the spinach thoroughly, place it in a pot, and cook it covered without adding any extra water. Once wilted and cooked, drain it very well, pressing out excess moisture.
In a skillet, heat four tablespoons of olive oil. Add the anchovies (rinsed of salt, filleted, and roughly chopped). Stir and let them melt down for a couple of minutes, then add the cooked spinach. Sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley and toss to combine.
Add the well-squeezed raisins and the pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let cook gently over low heat for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Transfer the Genoese-style spinach to a serving dish and serve warm or at room temperature.
