Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup regular or golden raisins
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1 (3/4-pound) bunch kale, tough stems and ribs removed, leaves thinly sliced (about 8 loosely packed cups)
- 1/2 pound spinach (about 8 loosely packed cups)
Method
Combine coconut milk, onion and garlic in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Adjust heat and cook at a bare simmer, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in raisins, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Raise the heat to medium and add kale a few handfuls at a time, stirring and adding more when it wilts.
Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 minutes.
Uncover and add spinach a few handfuls at a time.
Stir well and cook, uncovered, until kale and spinach are very tender and excess liquid has mostly evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes.
