We had a lot of spinach from a recent CSA pick-up so we looked for a unique recipe to incorporate it into a side dish. We found this recipe and it was really great, REALLY great! We used apple cider vinegar in place of the white-wine for an added flavor. We halved the recipe and it was a good serving for 2 people.

Heat a large saute ½ pan over medium heat, and add olive oil. Add diced onion, and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add beans, and cook until hot and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and vinegar, stirring frequently until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the thyme, and season with the salt and pepper. Serve.
Enjoy!
