A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

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.

If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
