Spanish Spinach

Adapted from gourmet_recipes_from_around_the_world. Will be flush with spinach here in a few weeks so am looking forward to making this fresh from the garden! Planning to serve as breakfast/lunch with poached eggs (mmmm!) & as a side for roasted poultry & fish. Plan to add a bit of lemon when serving alongside fish.

Steps

Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat , shaking every 30 seconds until they become fragrant & slightly golden.
Do not burn by leaving unattended ! dump toasted nuts on a plate to cool.
If using frozen spinach , microwave 4 to 6 minutes on high with no additional water but do cover them.
If using fresh spinach , place rinsed but not dried leaves in a large pan and cook , stirring until wilted , about 3 to 4 minutes.
Drain.
Heat the oil in a nonstick , nonreactive skillet over medium heat.
Add pimenton and cook , stirring about 2 minutes.
Add spinach , salt and approximately 2 / 3 cup water , stirring another minute.
Add pine nuts and toss until just heated through.
