How to Make Beans With Spinach Lubya B Selk

  1. Wash 10 oz of fresh spinach thoroughly and drain well.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach until wilted.
  3. Allow the spinach to cool completely. Then, pulse it in a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed.
  4. Add the following ingredients to a large pot or slow cooker: 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 lb ground meat (or 1 cup crumbled bean curd/tempeh for vegetarian option), 1 (15-ounce) can of beans (drained and rinsed), and enough water to cover all ingredients.
  5. If using a stovetop, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. If using a slow cooker, combine all ingredients, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
