Add spinach, pine nuts, coconut milk and chai spice and mix delicately until well combined.Place oven dish under the broiler until the top takes a nice golden coloration.Garnish with more pine nuts and coconut milk, if desired.Serving Size: 4 servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SSAPIENZA.
