Spinach-amole ~not your regular Gaucamole

Spinach! Every kid I know seems to HATE it. Well, the way it’s served in the US is kind of to blame, not the kids (or most adults who share this feeling).

So, what’s the solution? There are several. This post just shows you one of the many. And gives you two ways to try it.

  1. As a form of Sauted/Wilted Spinach good by itself or served with Rice.
  2. As a chutney (Indian word now famously used everywhere essentially blended fresh veggies with spices and used as a dip).
Step 1 heat coconut oil
add cumin, mustard, walnuts, green chillies
cover it chillies explode can be nasty
Dump in 4-5 handfuls of washed spinach
gently turn it over bottom leaves come up…
see the wilted leaves which were on the bottom
soon you will have a bunch of wilted leaves
Add more fresh leaves
Keep turning it over
Helps to start at the sides go in and gently turn over
also you can cover the pot, keep it on medium
Add Cherry tomatoes, Himalayan salt, some garlic powder
Turn it all over
Cover and turn off the heat
Power Move! Blend those wilted leaves…add some roasted garlic, red roasted chilli peppers more salt and blend – Shown here with a garnish of gently fried lentils and curry leaves (in coconut oil)
