Here’s another of the recipes I made for the 90th birthday party I catered last month.
Saag is a South Asian dish of braised greens, usually served with bread or rice. This was requested by my client to be served as a side dish with vegetable curry. Saag can also be served as an appetizer, as shown above with fresh bread from Macrina bakery, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, and the Lemon Tahini recipe I posted early this week.
Serves 6
4 ounces (8 tablespoons) butter
2 teaspoons cumin seed
1 green chili pepper, seeded and diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
16 ounces chopped fresh mustard greens
16 ounces chopped fresh spinach
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
Thyme with Sage
