Peeps swimming in this spinach curry singing pop tunes to beat the band.
Yah, it may look like a pile of puke populated by Peeps® but it’s actually a mighty tasty meal and perfect with rice or Naan (Eastern Indian flat bread). Peeps are mad for Bollywood movies and were very excited when I told them about this recipe. They started singing that Brenda Lee hit, “I’m Sari” almost on cue. It was a little high pitched for my tastes and I like her rendition alot more, but they were enthusiastic and that made up for any shortcomings in pitch or talent.
The peeps did their homework on this dish and told me that it’s been around for about 6,000 years (I suggest you throw it out after a week or two, even if you refrigerate the left overs) and is mentioned in the Vedas (Hindu sacred writings). An added bonus is that it’s good for you! All that spinach supplies serious nutrients and the ricotta (or cottage cheese) provides a low-fat protein source and calcium. The peeps add color, sweetness, and that that certain something that only peeps can convey.
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil then throw in 1/2 tablespoon of ginger. Mix in the cumin, coriander, turmeric and yogurt (amount varies based on your preference for the creaminess and yogurty taste). Add the spinach, bunches at a time until it is cooked down (It’s amazing how much it reduces. It also adds alot of liquid to the mixture). Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit.
- Pour spinach concoction into a blender or food processor along with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of ginger and as much cilantro as you’d like. Blend for 15 to 30 seconds, or until the spinach is chopped enough to suit you. Pour it back into the saucepan and keep warm (don’t let it boil).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, and fry the cheese until it’s browned. Drain it and add it to the spinach mixture. Heat it all up. Season with salt to taste.
One should not belittle food – the life breath is food… One should prepare a lot of food. The earth is food.
