Recipe of the Day - November 24 (spinach with pine nut pesto)

Spinach with Buttery Pine Nut Pesto

Ingredients
2 pounds spinach, washed well and trimmed of heavy stems
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Freshly squeezed juice from 1/2 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons crème fraiche or heavy cream
Pinch of freshly-grated nutmeg

Preparation
Place the spinach in a large pot with only the water adhering to it from its last rinsing. Turn the heat to high and wilt, 3 to 4 minutes. Plunge the spinach into cold water to stop from cooking. Drain it well in a strainer, pushing out excess water with the back of a wooden spoon.

Pound the pine nuts and garlic together in a mortar until they resemble a smooth paste (or use a food processor). Whisk them with into the softened butter with the lemon juice, Season with pepper.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the flavored butter in a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat and toss the spinach in it until it is well coated and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the crème fraiche and nutmeg and cook for 2 minutes, stirring and tossing to mix well. Add the remaining flavored butter and stir to coat all the spinach, cooking for another 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Serves 4

Oh man, this sounds soooo good. Can't go wrong with pesto, pine nuts, or spinach. That is, unless you're me and ruin every recipe without trying.

That sounds awesome, you can use just about any other kind of nut in pesto as well. Too bad they're all so expensive.
