Directions:
Place spinach and water in microwave safe bowl. Cover bowl with microwave safe dinner plate (it should completely cover bowl but not rest on spinach) Microwave on high until spinach is wilted and decreased in volume by half, 3-4 minutes. Transfer spinach to colander in sink, and with back of rubber spatula, gently press spinach against colander to release excess liquid. Transfer to cutting board and roughly chop. Return to colander and press again. Heat 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and raisins in 10 inch skillet over medium high heat. Cook, stirring constantly until garlic is light golden brown and beginning to sizzle, 3-6 minutes. Add spinach to skillet, turn to coat with oil. Sprinkle 1.4 teaspoon salt and continue stirring until spinach is uniformly wilted and glossy green, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with vinegar and almonds, stir to combine. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil and season, and serve.

Variation: using 3 large shallots sliced thinly and sautéed before adding spinach. Then sprinkle with pecans, vinegar and 1 ½ oz. feta cheese, crumbled. (about ¼ cup).
