Recipe Notes

We had a version of this at a lovely little tapas bar in London. So simple and quick, and makes a great side for a tortilla. Toasting the pine nuts enhances their nutty flavor, while cooking the raisins plumps them up and makes them even more juicy and fragrant.

"Studies have shown that an ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother."
