Tips:
- 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.
In just a few minutes, you've created a delicious and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side to complement your main course. The combination of coconut oil, spinach, and pine nuts provides a healthy mix of fats, vitamins, and minerals. Enjoy this easy-to-make recipe that doesn’t compromise on taste or nutrition.
