Avocado and African Spinach : A Burst Of Yumminess!

Hey foodies! Its common knowledge that as we grow older,the quest for healthy eating grows too! So I recently (well not too recent :D) posted about avocados and their numerous benefits right?

Well here's another amazing way to incorporate avocados in your meals ; Avocados and African Spinach (commonly known as 'green').

Oopsies first pic also included Oil Bean also known as " Upaka " or "Ugba" in igbo language , but that's another post for another day :D

Recipe for the Avocado and African spinach combo is quite simple. Just sautée  or stirfry the African Spinach with few condiments, then garnish with avocado slices...see?pretty simple huh? The tricky part is not letting the Spinach get  soggy. 

This is different from avocado salad, but it's just as nutritious and tasty.

INGREDIENTS 

1 Bunch of African Spinach ("Green")

2 Avocadoes

1/2 bulb onion

2 tablespoon chicken gravy 

2 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 tablespoon dry pepper

Salt and seasoning powder                           

Now let's get COOKING!

RECIPE

Wash African spinach with salt in running water. Chop and set aside. Chop onions,set aside. Put the chopped African Spinach in a pan and place on a burner (low heat) , when it starts to sizzle a bit, add onions and vegetable oil. Allow to simmer for a while before adding the gravy,dry pepper,salt and seasoning. Stir fry on low heat(to avoid losing all the vitamins in the spinach)  mixing all the ingredients. When it's a bit dry. Remove from burner. 

Garnish with Avocado slices . It can be eaten alone, or as a side dish.

The stir fry process  shouldn't take more than three minutes; you wouldn't want to lose all the vital vitamins and also get it soggy. Veggies should be eaten raw most preferably,but if cooked,it shouldn't stay too long on heat.  

And Voilá!
