Spinach with Feta & Pine Nuts


Another winner from Ina Garten - from her new cookbook

Spinach with Feta & Pine Nuts
Serves 4

Ingredients

2 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 medium lemon
1 pound fresh baby spinach, leaves washed and dried
1 1/2 tablespoon pine nuts, lightly toasted
¾ cup diced fresh feta
Kosher salt and pepper as needed

Instructions

1. In a large saute pan add the olive oil and onion and cook over medium heat until the onion is softened, but not brown - about 5-7 minutes.

2. Zest the lemon and reserve the zest in a small bowl. Then squeeze the lemon juice into the pan, about 1 ½ tablespoons-full. Then, add the spinach and stir it lightly until it wilts down. Then, toss in about a teaspoon of kosher salt and a dash of pepper and remove it from the heat.

3. Add the lemon zest, pine nuts, and feta, and toss everything gently. Serve.
