I have always loved to eat spinach at Afghanistan restaurants. After several tries at making it, here are my results, which are easy and quite good served with fresh basmati rice.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons oil

1/2 bunch cilantro
20 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed

Steps:

  • Wash the green onions and cut off the very ends (both ends). roughly chop and put into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
  • Put the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When the heat is hot, add the green onion and stir-fry for 5 minutes.

  • Add the cilantro and spinach to the frying pan and stir for a minute until everything is well mixed.

  • Add the water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Check to see if the spinach is very tender, if not, recover and cook 5 more minutes.

This recipe was a disaster. The spinach was overcooked and the whole dish was just a mushy mess.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from this recipe. It was still delicious.
