-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1         Tablespoon olive oil
3                     anchovy fillets -- or 4, optional
2              large garlic cloves -- peeled and sliced
     1/4           cup walnuts
     1/4           cup raisins
10            ounces spinach -- to 1 pound spinach, tough stems removed, well drained, and coarsely chopped
                        salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a 10 or 12-inch skillet, preferably
non-stick, for about 1 minutes. Add the anchovies and cool for about a
minute, stirring with a wooden spoon and breaking them up. Add the garlic
and walnuts, and stir, and cook until the garlic colors a bit. Add the
raisins, stir, and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cover.
Cook 3 to 5 minutes, until the spinach has wilted. Uncover the skillet,
raise the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid
has evaporated; season to taste and serve hot or at room temperature.

Makes 4 servings
Time: 15 minutes

Other Greens to Use: Chard is excellent prepared this way.
AuthorNote: A traditional dish of the Mediterranean, especially Sicily.
Like the chard recipe on page 103 (with garlic, pine nuts, currants), it
can be thinned with a little water to make a pasta sauce.
