Ingredients

  • large heads bok choy divided rinsed chopped
  • 0.5 cup sherry dry
  • tablespoon garlic clove chopped
  • 0.3 cup golden raisins 
  • servings pepper black freshly ground
  • tablespoons pinenuts toasted
  • tablespoons vegetable oil divided

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • spatula
  • dutch oven

Directions

  1. Combine raisins and sherry in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally and then more frequently at the end, until deeply caramelized and sticky, about 40 minutes, reducing heat and adding a tablespoon or two of water is onions begin to burn.
  4. Add raisin mixture and stir, using a wooden spatula to deglaze bottom of pan.
  5. Transfer onions to a dish and set aside.
  6. Wipe out pan and return to high heat.
  7. Add 3 tablespoons oil and, when shimmering, add chopped bok choy stalks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bok choy releases the majority of its liquid and begins to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  8. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  9. Add chopped bok choy leaves and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 6 minutes. Lower heat, add onion mixture and stir to incorporate. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  10. Transfer vegetables to a platter, sprinkle with pine nuts, and serve immediately.
