Sautéing spinach takes about 3-5 minutes. You want to cook it until it wilts and softens, but be careful not to overcook it.
You can store leftover sautéed spinach in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it on the stovetop or microwave before serving.
You can substitute coconut oil with olive oil or butter for a different flavor profile, though this may alter the taste slightly.
Pine nuts are toasted when they turn golden brown and emit a nutty aroma, typically after about 2-3 minutes of sautéing. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Yes, you can use other nuts like walnuts or almonds as a substitute for pine nuts. Just be sure to toast them in the same way for optimal flavor.
- Make sure to wash and thoroughly dry your spinach before cooking to avoid excess water in your pan, which can cause the spinach to steam rather than sauté.
- Toast the pine nuts lightly before adding them to the spinach for an enhanced, deeper flavor. Simply heat them in a dry pan over medium heat until they turn golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a bit more flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten up the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan with spinach; it cooks down significantly, so start with enough to cover the bottom of your pan.
