Spiced Spinach

Ingredients:

2 lb. spinach; 1 tbsp sesame oil; 1 dried red chili; 1 tsp black mustard seeds; 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced; ½ tsp salt + more to taste

Instructions:

• Remove the tough stems from the spinach and rinse the spinach thoroughly and drain the water. Set aside.

• Take a large frypan and warm the oil over high heat. Once the oil is hot enough, add the chili and fry while stirring continuously. Make sure the chili has turned dark brown.

• Add the mustard seeds and cover the pan. Once the seeds stop spluttering, remove the pan and add the garlic.
