Moosewood Low Fat Favorites
List of Ingredients
16 to 20 ounces fresh spinach
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauceRecipe
Clean and stem the spinach leaves. Shake off excess water and place the spinach in a covered pot. In a dry skillet on medium heat, roast the sesame seeds, stirring continuously, for a couple of minutes, until the seeds are fragrant and golden. With a morter and pestle, gring together the sesame seeds and sugar, add the soy sauce, and stir to make a paste (see note). Place the pot of spinach on high heat and steam for 2 or 3 minutes, until it is wilted but still bright green. Drain. Toss the spinach with sesame paste to coat the leaves evenly. Servings: 4
Note: If you don't have a mortar and pestle, crush the sesame seeds between 2 sheets of wax paper with a rolling pin. Stir the sugar and soy sauce until the sugar dissolves and then add the crushed sesame seeds.
