Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons grassfed ghee

  • bag of frozen peas, thawed

  • a massive bag of spinach (or 4-5 smaller bags)

  • 2 onions, finely chopped

  • 2-inch knob ginger, minced

  • 2 heaping tablespoons or 7 cloves garlic, minced (I used my garlic press)

  • 2 ½ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste

  • 1 ½ teaspoon coriander powder

  • 1 ½ teaspoon cumin powder

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

  • ½ teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder (or a little less if using cayenne)

  • ½ teaspons ancho chili powder

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional

  • Paneer cheese, cubed and fried in oil for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally

  • Naan, sprayed with olive oil and heated in 400* oven for 4 minutes

  • Cooked rice

What to Do

  1. Add 2 tablespoons ghee, onion, ginger, garlic, and spices to your crock pot. Set on high for 1 hour. You could also saute to get it done quicker.

  2. While that’s cooking, grab a very large pot (or two) and fill with water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach leaves to the large pot and do not put hte lid on it.

  3. Boil the spinach for 5 minutes. Drain leaves and let them cool.

  4. Once cool, place leaves in a blender and blend to your desired consistency (add a little water as needed to help you blend).

  5. Place the blended leaves into your crock pot along with peas, reduce heat to low, put lid on and cook for 2-6 hours.
