Gomen Wat (Ethiopian Stewed Greens)
This recipe is traditionally made with collard greens but I think it’s an awesome use of kale! You can also substitute spinach, which makes for a very creamy smooth tasting dish as well!

Instructions
- Place clean, chopped greens in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer until kale is tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, but reserve the cooking water. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked collards, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the reserved cooking water. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-high heat until liquid is nearly evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add lemon juice, salt, turmeric, paprika, allspice, and ginger root. Cook until about 5 more minutes.
