Seasoned African Spinach

Submitted by Aimee88

"I don't know why this recipe is African. It came to me from a friend in Pennsylvania, who has no African roots that I know of. It can be a complete, vegetarian meal served with rice, or a more protein-rich meal with the addition of a chicken breast. Preparation time does not include cooking rice."

This was made as per directions. It is a pleasingly different way to serve fresh spinach. Made for *PAC Spring 2008*
