Spinach and Simsim
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 4    |   Ready In: < 30 minutes

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.
