Spinach and new potato curry

We harvested spinach a few weeks ago and froze it for future use. So today is the Future and we will use it for the Spinach, new potato curry with coconut with spiced bread and rice.

So off to the allotment we went to harvest the potatoes, lettuces and the strawberries. Look was an amazing haul!

 

500 gr potatoes
500 gr spinach
2 tbsp oil
1 sliced onion
4 crushed garlic
2 tsp ground tumeric
a pinch of chilli
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground pepper
1 can of coconut milk
juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt.


Parboil potatoes in skins for 8-10 mins

Drain and cut in half
Cook spinach and chop roughly
Heat oil in frying pan fry onions with garlic, chilli, coriander and pepper

Back in the kitchen and it was time to process it all and turn it into a lovely lunch.

June and Bela prepared the strawberries for jam.

Add cooked potatoes and cook until slightly brown (6-8 mins) Add spinach and coconut milk, bring to boil and simmer for 7 mins.
Season and add lemon juice to taste.
