Spiced Spinach (Black Mustard Seed)

Here, fresh spinach is wilted in oil scented with a dried red chili and pungent mustard seeds. These tiny seeds of the mustard plant lend a deep floral aroma and a hint of spice, along with a vibrant peppery finish. To achieve the right flavor and texture, be sure the mustard seeds “pop” in the hot oil before adding the spinach to the pan.
