Adapted from James Peterson's book, Vegetables . I served this with barbecued shrimp and carrot/parsnip latkes for a great 'fusion' meal! Ingredients:
2 lbs swiss chard or 2 lbs spinach or 2 lbs beet leaves, stems removed, steamed or 2 lbs boiled until tender 5-10 minutes and refreshed under cold running water |
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil |
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, plus |
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (to taste) |
2 teaspoons sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. Gently squeeze the cooked greens to get rid of most of their water. If the leaves are large, chop them 3 or 4 times to make them easier to eat.
2. Mix the sesame oil, 1 T. of the soy sauce and the sesame seeds. Add to the squeezed spinach and toss. Taste and add the additional 1 teaspoons soy sauce to taste, if necessary.
3. Chill before serving.
