  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until tender and golden brown.
  2. Meanwhile, zest the lemon and set it aside. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into the pan then add the spinach in big handfuls, tossing constantly with tongs for a minute or so until all the leaves are just wilted.
  3. Remove from the heat; Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Add the pine nuts, feta, and lemon zest. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
  5. Side Note: Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, watch carefully so they don't burn.
