500gms lean beef stir-fry strips
1 onion (chopped)
1tsp crushed garlic
1x425-gm can tomatoes in juice
60gms fresh spinach (shredded)
1/2 cup dried raisins or sultanas
1/3 cup slivered almonds
2tbs olive oil
1tsp ground turmeric
1tsp ground cumin

Stir-fry onion, sultanas and almonds for one to two minutes. Return beef strips to pan. Add tomatoes, spinach, turmeric, cumin, salt and pepper. Allow to cook for five minutes. Stir mix and serve with fluffy couscous or rice, and a green salad.
