Lemon Spinach with Toasted Pistachios

Lemon Spinach with Toasted Pistachios Recipe

Curly spinach has a firmer texture and holds up better than flat or baby spinach in this recipe.

Ingredients
1 pound curly spinach
¼ cup pistachio nuts
1½ tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, grated rind and juice
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Remove stems from spinach and discard. Wash leaves well and pat dry.
2. Toast pistachios in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until slightly fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
3. Heat oil in a very large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven. Add spinach and cook over high heat until wilted, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Add grated lemon rind and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Add salt and pepper. Sprinkle with pistachios. Serves 4.
