Spinach or Chard

This is a pan-cooked greens dish rather than a soupy stew: the spinach cooks down into the meat and onion until the whole pot is almost dry, then gets sharpened with lemon at the table.

Ingredients

500 g
minced or small-cut meat — ≈ 2 1/2 uqiyas 
1 1/2 kg
spinach or chard
1
large onion
2 tbsp
ghee
salt, spice and lemon

Method

1
Cook the meat first with salt, spice and onion until it is tender and the onion has softened into the fat.
2
Clean and chop the spinach, then add it to the pot and keep stirring as it collapses. The goal is not a watery stew: let the greens cook down into the meat.
3
Finish only when the leaves are fully tender and the pan looks almost dry. Brighten with lemon just before serving and bring it with rice.
