Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 8 cups loosely packed chopped fresh kale
• 8 cups loosely packed torn fresh spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 1.5 cups coconut milk
• 0.75 teaspoon fine sea salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine coconut milk, onion, and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to a bare simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in raisins, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 2

Increase heat to medium. Add kale, a few handfuls at a time, stirring and adding more as it wilts. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 minutes.

Step 3

Uncover and add spinach, a few handfuls at a time, stirring and adding more until all has been added. Cook, uncovered, until both kale and spinach are very tender and any excess liquid has mostly evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes.
