Wilted Spinach with Dried Cherries and Pine Nuts

Wilted Spinach with Dried Cherries and Pine Nuts

by Pam on September 17, 2013

This dish was a big hit with all of us. We loved the sweet and tangy cherries tossed with the wilted spinach and toasted pine nuts. The balsamic vinegar gave such a great flavor boost to this side dish. I have a feeling I will be making this more often!

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add the washed spinach, dried cherries, and pine nuts then toss often for 1 minute. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste then drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Keep tossing while it cooks until just wilted. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Drizzle more balsamic vinegar, if desired. Enjoy.

Orzo with Sun-Dried Tomato, Pine Nuts, and Basil

Orzo with Sun-Dried Tomato, Pine Nuts, and Basil

by Pam on April 30, 2013

This is another quick and easy side dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It took only minutes to make and tasted great. My husband and I both really loved it and gobbled it up. Our kids weren’t as impressed saying it was “okay”. I served this orzo along with stuffed chicken breasts (recipe to post tomorrow) and Roasted Grape Tomatoes and Zucchini Topped with Feta and Chives[1]. The entire meal was healthy and delicious.

Prepare the orzo per instructions.

While the orzo is boiling, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the sundried tomatoes; cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the minced garlic and pine nuts and continue to cook while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside. Once the orzo has finished cooking, drain the water, and pour drained orzo into the skillet with the sun dried tomatoes. Toss to coat evenly then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Add the vinegar and fresh basil then mix well. Taste and re-season with sea salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
