Spicy Greens - 6g Carbs
From: How to Cook for People with Diabetes
Yield: 4 Servings
1 lb fresh spinach (or collard greens or kale)
1 Tbsp peanut oil
1/2 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 large tomato, chopped into small pieces
1/2 small lemon, sliced thin
Fresh ground pepper to taste
2 Tbsp curry powder, or to taste
1. Wash the spinach thoroughly. Cook in a saucepan over low heat
about 5 minutes; do not add water. (There is usually enough water
already clinging to the leaves to steam the greens.) Collard greens
or kale may take 7 - 10 minutes.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onion and tomato for
4 - 5 minutes. Add the cooked greens, lemon slices, and
seasonings; stir constantly for a few minutes. Serve hot.
