Recipe: Quick Spinach with Browned Onions - India (Vegan)

[Guest guest]

QUICK SPINACH WITH BROWNED ONIONS - INDIA (Vegan)

 

This is my QuickFix adaptation of a Musalmani dish from North India. I had some

caramelized oniions in the freezer and a package of chopped frozen spinach - not

a very

inspiring duo of ingredients for a luncheon sidedish. It would no doubt be

better with

fresh spinach and freshly browned onions, but when you're in a hurry. . . .

 

1 pkg chopped frozen spinach, defrosted

caramelized (or browned only,whatever you have) onions equal to a large onion

1 or 2 tsp oil - to brown the onions

1 pinch of chile flakes to taste

1 tsp salt or to taste

 

After browning the onions (if you're doing them fresh) in the oil, add the chile

flakes and

stir. Then add the spinach and salt and stir very well. Lower heat and simmer to

meld the

flavours for 10 mins or so.

 

Taste for seasoning and serve with whatever you please, Indian or western food.

(We had it

with some beans done Indian style, leftover from a different day, some leftover

basmati

rice and a quick tomato and chopped onion `salad' with garam masala and lemon

juice.)
