This is from Best of Regional African Cooking . The original calls for 1/2 c. finely ground unsalted peanuts. That's too much work, so I substituted peanut butter. This is a very thick, rich vegetable side. It is not a stew like we think of stews in the US. My husband liked it, and it is the only spinach dish he will eat. Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped |
1 chili pepper, chopped |
1 tablespoon oil |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1 cup light coconut milk |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained |
salt |
Directions:
1. Saute onions and chili pepper in oil until onion is transparent.
2. Add peanut butter and coconut milk slowly, stirring constantly until it comes to a boil. Add spinach. Salt to taste.
3. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until spinach is cooked.
