Sweet And Spicy Spinach

Spinach is packed with iron and adds wonderful color to any dish. This is a quick recipe to whip up if you have unexpected company for dinner.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon organic olive oil or organic coconut oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh spinach
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup organic raisins

Directions

1.Heat the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat; stir in the garlic and cook until just beginning to brown.
2.Add the fresh spinach and stir to coat with the oil. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper.
3.Cover the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in a little bit of liquid (water or broth) if your skillet seems dry. As the spinach cooks, it will wilt and reduce in size.
4.Once the spinach is cooked through, add raisins and stir for 1 more minute, until heated through.

This recipe serves up as a great side dish. Delicious served with grilled salmon. Serve with a slice of lemon on the side...mmm...

Enjoy!!
