Number Of Ingredients 13

10 oz. package of frozen spinach
1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
6 oz can or 2 ripe diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon canola oil (or other vegetable oil) + 1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon black mustard seed (or 1/4 tsp yellow mustard powder)
1 small diced onion
2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp dried ginger
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large sauté pan at medium heat. Add the oil and butter and let it heat through just until a drop of water added to the pan sizzles. If using black mustard seeds, Add to the oil. Let them sizzle in the oil for two minutes (they may begin to pop). Shake your pan to keep them from burning. Add the onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the onions are getting translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for another two minutes. If anything is getting brown, turn your heat down a little. Add the spices and salt, stir constantly for one minute. (Add mustard powder if not using seeds). After a minute, pour in ½ of your tomato can and sauté for another minute. Add the remaining tomatoes and sauté for another minute. Add the chickpeas and sauté for another minute. Add spinach and sauté for another minute. If there is no liquid left in our pan at this point, add ¼ cup water. Allow to simmer for five minutes.
