Ingredients:

200g sesame seeds (simsim)
4 tbsp water
300g spinach, chopped
1 tbsp butter

Method:

In a large pan combine the sesame seeds and water then stir-in the spinach. Bring to a boil then simmer until the sesame seeds are cooked (about 10 minutes). Add a little more water if needed (you want the mix to cook in as little water as possible to ensure it's thick).

Add butter just before serving and serve with rice, fufu, boiled yams or boiled plantain.
