Brazilian Spinach - About 100g with stems (Washed and pluck)
Chicken Stock - 40g (or 1/4 tsp cumin powder for vegetarians)
Yellow Onion - 1 medium
Tomatoes - 2 medium or 15-20 cherry/grape tomatoes
Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
Salt and Pepper - to taste
Vegetable Oil - 2tbsp
Coconut Milk - 120g or 1/2 cup
Instructions:
Step 1:
Slice a shallow X on your tomatoes and then blanch them in hot water until the tips of the “X” just start to peel back (about 10- 15 seconds for cherry/grape tomatoes, 15 – 25 for larger tomatoes). Shock in an ice bath to stop the cooking completely then peel the skins away (if you don’t have and ice bath, don’t worry too much and just be careful not to blanch them for too long)
Step 2:
Over medium heat, sauté onions until translucent. Then add tomatoes and garlic and continue to sauté.
Step 3:
Add the Brazilian spinach and sauté a little more, then add the coconut milk, salt, pepper, and chicken stock (or cumin). Stir and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, then serve with rice!
Closing:
I found that this also goes well with your pasta, especially if it’s on the lighter side (e.g. Fresh Tomato pasta) If it’s heavy like a carbonara, it won’t mix as well since they’re both heavy.
