Ingredients
​1/3 cup golden raisins, plumped in water
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 tsp Tabasco Sauce
1/2 tsp cumin
​salt & pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots, chopped

Steps
  1. Plump raisins by soaking in a cup of warm (not hot) water for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. Prepare spinach by washing and removing stems.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan or stock pot over medium low heat.  Add shallots, garlic, and spinach.  You will have to add the spinach in batches.  As one batch wilts a bit, add more so that it all fits in the pan.

  6. Serve immediately.
