This is a traditional Caribbean creamed greens dish. There are a couple exotic greens there are traditionally used that are hard to get hands on…so let use spinach instead!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil
½ of a yellow onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (sliced)
1 habanero pepper
1 can of coconut milk
1 large bunch of spinach (stems removed)
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Preheat a large pot on medium heat. Add the coconut oil and then the onions, garlic and hot pepper.
Add in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
While the coconut milk is warming, wash your spinach really well and then wash in a salad spinner.
Add the spinach to the pot, season with the salt and paprika and simmer without a lid on low heat for about 30 minutes.
Once the simmering time is up, you can pulse the mixture with an immersion blender or counter top blender a little to bring it together. This will give it a nice rich green colour.
