Peanut butter and cider vinegar form a delicious sauce for sauteed onions, sweet bell pepper, and spinach. This side dish comes together quite fast. Do not overcook the spinach.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups vegetable consomme
  • 1/2 cup unsalted sugar-free peanut butter
  • 2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, preferably sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 2 pounds spinach, well washed, stems removed, and coarsely chopped

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or soup kettle. Add the onions and bell pepper, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onions have softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the consomme and bring to a boil. Stir in the peanut butter, vinegar, salt, and cayenne. Add the spinach and cook, stirring often, just until the spinach has wilted, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
