Waleed Asadi: Palestinian Spinach Stew | Sabanikh | سبانخ

April 19, 2026 | Sabanikh is the Arabic word for spinach, and that's exactly what this dish is: lots and lots of spinach cooked down with plenty of onion, garlic, ground beef, and a nice touch of lemon juice to bring this all together.

It's a beautiful and simple dish that really defines a Levantine home. Of course, our Lebanese, Syrian, and Jordanian neighbors also share this dish but with their own touch.

I highly recommend this one. I actually make this for myself quite often because it's easy and it’s a healthy option to throw together.
