Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
1/2 cup sesame seeds
4 tablespoons water
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 tablespoon butter
directions
NOTE: Sesame seeds, called simsim in Swahili, add an unusual nutty flavor to vegetable stews. This particular recipe is from Uganda.
In a heavy stewing pan, combine sesame seeds and water. Stir in spinach. Add more water if necessary; the amount of water used depends on how wet the spinach is. This mixture should cook in smallest amount of water possible.
Bring to a boil. Simmer until seeds are cooked, 10 to 15 minutes. Add butter just before serving, with a starch.
