Punjabi Saag
AuthorSheenaCategoryIndian, Slow CookerDifficultyIntermediateSaag is a known as a good luck type of dish that is made on special occasions. Apparently, it has special powers to assist families in “mingling & mixing” together especially during weddings. (I was told this by my Aunt)
Ingredients:
Directions:
Add Broccoli Raab, Kale and water to large crock pot cook 1.5 hrs on high.
Fold in Spinach, cover and lower heat setting to low & cook for 8 hours. ** I let it cook overnight**
Using an immersion blender; blend all the greens until it looks like a thick puree. **You may need to add water, if the greens mixture is too dry**
This puree yields about 4 cups. I use 2 cups right away & freeze 2 cups for the next time.
Now make the “tarka”
In a food processor “chop” the onions and garlic, set aside
Put a large deep dish saute pain over medium/high heat.
Add EVOO, once heated add the onions, garlic, ginger and saute until the onions begin to brown.
Add Crushed tomatoes & all of the seasonings; saute for until well combined and begins to bubble
Add the 2 cups of green puree. Saute until well heated; cover & cook on low for 20 minutes; mixing occasionally.
Serve & Enjoy!
Add a pat of butter on top when you serve each bowl. It adds a great silky look & buttery taste. My sons love it and so do I!
