Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped red onion
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen chopped spinach

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
