Follow The Directions

01

Step

1 mins

In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (1 minute)

02

Step

1 mins

Add the spinach to the pan and, using tongs, toss to coat the leaves with the oil. (1 minute)

03

Step

4 mins

Cook, turning frequently, until the spinach is just wilted but still retains some texture. (Approximately 4 minutes)

04

Step

1 mins

Pour in the chicken broth, then add the golden raisins, garlic powder, and a generous grind of black pepper. (1 minute)

05

Step

2 mins

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the Parmesan cheese is melted and the raisins have plumped up, absorbing the flavorful broth. (1-2 minutes)

06

Step

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired.

For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of olive oil.
If you don't have golden raisins, regular raisins or dried cranberries can be substituted.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors even more.
To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the pan. You may need to sauté the spinach in batches.
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement grilled chicken, fish, or pasta.
