Welcome to the first official recipe from the MindLink podcast! 🚀🤖

In our very first episode, Hello, World, Max introduced a futuristic, protein-packed dish that combines spinach, peanut butter, and beans for an unexpectedly delicious flavor fusion. This dish, aptly named Neural Bites Stir-Fry, is not only easy to make but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect meal for creatives, techies, and food adventurers alike.

🥜 Ingredients:

• 1 can beans (black beans or chickpeas work best)

• 2 cups frozen spinach (or fresh if available)

• 1 tablespoon peanut butter (smooth or chunky)

• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)

• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• ½ teaspoon ginger, grated (optional, adds depth of flavor)

• 1 tablespoon oil (olive oil or sesame oil)

• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon cumin (optional, adds warmth)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for brightness)

• Crushed peanuts or sesame seeds for garnish (optional, adds crunch)

🥘 Directions:

1️⃣ Sauté the Spinach

• Add frozen spinach and cook until fully thawed and wilted (about 3 minutes).

2️⃣ Add the Beans

• Drain and rinse the canned beans.

• Add them to the pan and stir to combine with the spinach.

3️⃣ Make the Peanut Butter Sauce

4️⃣ Combine & Cook

• Stir everything together and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

• Add salt, black pepper, and cumin to taste.

5️⃣ Serve & Garnish
