Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 cup green onion leaves
  • 1 cup of chopped parsley leaves
  • 2 cup of chopped spinach leaves
  • 3 whole dried limes
  • 1.5 tablespoon of dried fenugreek
  • 1 cup of dried kidney beans soak overnight if using dried
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves of minced garlic
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric
  • 3 to 4 cups of water adjust for desired consistency
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Chop the coriander, parsley, spinach, and spring onion leaves, ensuring you separate the stalks from the leaves. Combine these chopped leaves in a bowl, gently mixing them together and setting them aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over low heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped leaves. Sauté and stir until they soften and lose moisture.
  • In a separate cooking pot, heat more olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic till it turns translucent. Add turmeric spice, gently stirring it in.
  • Then, add the sautéed herbs from the pan, briefly stirring before pouring the water. Add the fenugreek leaves and stir to combine.
  • As the mixture begins to boil, add the dried kidney beans soaked overnight and the dried lime. Let the stew simmer for an hour, allowing the herbs to infuse and thicken the stew. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Serve the stew with rice, preferably basmati, or flatbread. Enjoy your meal

Notes

  • Soak the dried kidney beans overnight to reduce the cooking time.
  • Add more water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
