Sesame seeds - called simsim in Swahili - add an unusual nutty flavor to vegetable stews. This particular recipe is from Uganda. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sesame seeds |
3 -4 tablespoons water |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. In a heavy stewing pan, combine sesame seeds and water.
2. Stir in spinach. Add more water if necessary; the amount of water used depends on how wet the spinach is. This mixture should cook in smallest amount of water possible.
3. Bring to a boil. Simmer until seeds are cooked, 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Add butter just before serving. Serve with a starch.
