Fresh Spinach Tossed with Warm Tahini, Garlic, and Lemon
Garnished with Black & White Sesame Seeds
Packed with flavor as well as vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This is one delightful healthy satisfying side dish.
Tahini (Sesame Seed Paste)
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a good amount of chopped garlic, then add tahini. Stir to combine and heat through. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Add fresh spinach leaves, toss until just starting to wilt. Finish with black & white sesame seeds and sea salt.
Another reason to love sesame: Sesame seeds are high in phytosterols, a plant component with a chemical structure similar to cholesterol. When present in the diet in sufficient amounts phytosterols are believed reduce cholesterol absorption.

FAbulous recipe! I added grated ginger, and used swiss chard…added a touch of water to make a bit of a sauce, and chopped scallions towards the end; cooked until it was soft but still substantive. Delicious!
Thanks Mike. I haven’t made this is a while. Thank you for reminding me 🙂 I really appreciate that you took the time to let me know that you liked it. Swiss chard and your recipe sounds good too.

I would have never thought of using Tahini with spinach, but all of a sudden it looks so natural!
Thank you for the recipe,
