    A bowl of espinaca, wilted spinach with apples and pinenuts

    Espinaca a la Catalan is and Andorran style spinach that is a delicious side dish for any occasion.  The Espinaca went perfectly with the trout cooked on slate that we enjoyed as our main dish.

    This barely wilted spinach cooks up in just a couple minutes. The cooked apples and raisins adds a really nice sweetness to this dish and the pine nuts a wonderful texture. We absolutely loved it and I hope you do too.  Do you like your spinach cooked, fresh or both?  Let me know in the comments below.

    Did you know that there are no airports in Andorra?  Nearly 2/3rds of the population are not Andorran, they are minority in their own country. If  you would like to learn more about this tiny country, be sure to check out "Our Journey to Andorra."
