Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the raisins in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let sit for 15 minutes, then drain and dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Rinse the spinach well and do not dry. Place the wet leaves in a pot and set over medium heat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until the leaves wilt. Transfer to a colander and press out excess moisture with a spoon. Chop finely.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a wok over low heat. Add the chopped garlic, nuts, and raisins. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden. Increase the heat, add the spinach, and cook, stirring, for another minute. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
