1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 bunch broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets, stems peeled and
cut into 2" x 1/4" strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 garlic clove, pushed through a press
1 bag (10 ounces) washed spinach
1 small hot red chile or jalapeño pepper, seeded, finely
chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1. Toast sesame seeds in a large nonstick skillet over
medium heat, stirring until golden brown and fragrant.
Transfer to a small bowl. Heat oil over medium heat in
same skillet until hot. Add broccoli and red pepper; cook
until broccoli is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add
garlic, spinach, jalapeño, soy sauce, and sesame oil;
mix well. Cover and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2
minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
A trio of vegetables is flavored Asian-style, with sesame, garlic,
soy sauce and hot pepper. The mix makes a super-healthy yearround
side dish that's nice with beef, pork or lamb.
