We have CSA and it seems we are always getting dark leafy greens by the pound! I love greens in most everything, but sometimes you need a recipe to use up a full bunch or two. This recipe does that in a delicious manner. Most would eat this as a side dish, and sometimes I do. Sometimes it is dinner, sometimes breakfast. It is particularly good topped with an over easy egg if you swing that way. I see options like this on every Spanish tapas menu in the area so you could say this is exotic:) These greens are rich and satisfying from the greens, touched with salt, a hint of sweetness with the raisins, and a little crunch from the pine nuts. Most people would eat these as a side dish. Maybe with some tofu and crusty bread, Yeah, that sounds like dinner to me.
