Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red chili flakes
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cumin, paprika, curry powder, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Cook the spices for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin to break down.
Stir in the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots, ensuring they are well coated in the spices and tomato mixture.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Add the chopped spinach to the pot and stir. Cook for 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and integrates into the stew.
Pour in the coconut milk and gently stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice to add brightness to the dish. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the spinach stew into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve hot with rice, bread, or on its own.
