Indonesian Greens

If I’m looking for a way of jazzing up greens – kale, cabbage or spinach – I make this Indonesian-inspired dish.

Ingredients

• green leafy vegetable, such as kale, cabbage or spinach
• 4 tbs crunchy peanut butter
• juice of 1 lime (or lemon)
• 4 tbs dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 2 tsp sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1–2 dried chillies, chopped fine
• few leaves of Vietnamese coriander (optional)

Method

Boil greens (and coriander) in 1 cup water for 5 mins (skip this stage if you’re using spinach). Meanwhile, stir rest of ingredients together until you have a thick paste. Then stir in sauce and simmer for a further 5 mins. Serve as a main on a bed of rice, or as a side dish.
