Spiced-up Spinach with Crunchy Cashews Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 pounds fresh baby spinach
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 1 large red onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
• 1 whole dried red chile pepper (like Kashmiri or chile de árbol)
• 2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• OPTIONAL:
• Pinch of cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium heat. Add chili pepper and stir for a second or two. Add mustard seeds and stir until fragrant and they begin to pop. Stir in onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, and optional cayenne pepper. Sauté until onion is soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Add spinach, a large handful at a time, stirring to coat with seasonings. Cook, just until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste and add additional salt, if desired.
3. Remove whole chili pepper. Sprinkle with cashews and coconut. Serve warm.
