Sauteed Spinach with Cranberries and Pine Nuts

Thanksgiving Recipes

This recipe is probably the easiest to cook from my Thanksgiving Menu and is part of Toni’s 12 Days of Thanksgiving.  Since this recipe is not a “make-ahead” recipe and only takes a few minutes to cook, I typically make this right before serving.  Watch the video below for a cooking demonstration of this delicious and simple Thanksgiving recipe.

Sauteed Spinach with Cranberries and Pine Nuts

Ingredients:

  1. fresh baby spinach lettuce- 2 16oz. pre-cut ready-to-eat bags
  2. dried cranberries like Ocean Spray Craisins- 1 5oz. bag or 1 cup
  3. pine nuts- 1 2-4oz. bag
  4. olive oil
  5. salt & pepper

Directions:

  1. Heat a few tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat
  2. Add spinach, cranberries and pine nuts and saute until spinach is completely reduced, approximately 4 minutes
  3. season with salt & pepper to taste
  4. Make this recipe right before serving.
