Spinach Stew (Central African Republic)
Serves 6.
2 small onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp oil
2 tomatoes, peeled, and sliced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 lbs. fresh spinach, chopped, or 2 small packages frozen spinach
1 tsp. salt
2 chili peppers, or = tsp. cayenne pepper
4 Tbsp peanut butter
In a heavy skillet or stew pot, saute onions in moderately hot oil
until golden. Stir in tomatoes and green pepper. After a minute or
so, add spinach, salt and hot pepper. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer
for 5 minutes. Thin peanut butter with several tablespoons of warm
water to make a smooth paste. Add to the pot. Continue cooking for
another 10 - 15 minutes, stirring frequently, and keeping a close
watch to prevent burning. Add small amounts of water as necessary
so that the stew doesn't stick to the pot bottom. Serve with rice
or a stiff porridge.
