*EPISODE 6 Recipe: Spinach Catalan Style*
(Serves 2 to 3)

·         2 tablespoons olive oil
·         3 tablespoons pine nuts
·         3 tablespoons dried currants
·         1 large bunch spinach, washed and spun mostly dry (leave enough water to help cook the spinach)
·         Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (or over a hot grill fire). Add the nuts and currants and stir for a minute or two, until the nuts start to brown. Add the spinach, in batches if necessary, and stir and cook until the spinach is nicely wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
