Directions

Cut 500g of beef, chicken or other meat into 2cm cubes

Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Sauté 1/4 a thinly sliced onion in 30ml of oil over medium high heat.
Once translucent and soft, add in 500g of shredded amaranth or spinach leaves, and a thinly sliced tomato.
Season with salt, stir and sauté until the water releases from the leaves and evaporates.
Open a can of coconut milk and gently remove the cream from the top. Add this to the greens – about 125ml – and mix to incorporate.
Continue to cook until the cream thickens.

Grill the skewers over charcoal, or under a broiler for 10-15min, or until it reaches a safe internal temperature.

Serve the skewers on top of the greens.
