Time 50m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs fresh spinach leaves
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 large tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 (8 ounce) can coconut milk
4 tablespoons butter, 1/2 stick
1 teaspoon salt, less if desired
fresh coarse ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the spinach leaves, stack and roll leaves together, then coarsely chop.
  • Place the tomato carefully into a small pot of boiling water for 30 seconds, peel skin off. Slice tomato in half and scoop out runny inside, discard this part, then coarsely chop the fleshy part.
  • In small bowl, whisk the peanut butter and coconut milk til smooth.
  • Heat the butter over medium low heat in large frying pan.
  • Add the onion, tomato, salt and curry powder and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Stir only occasionally so that you don't break up the tomato too much.
  • Add the spinach, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until the spinach is softened, but not overly cooked.
  • Stir in the peanut butter/coconut milk mixture.
  • Simmer, over medium-low heat, for about another 5-8 minutes, stirring constantly, to make sure that the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season lightly with a little coarse ground pepper to taste.
  • Serve as is as a side dish, or over hot cooked rice for a main dish.

AFRICAN SPINACH AND PEANUT BUTTER STEW

Found online at www.fooddownunder.com, while looking for economical 'African' recipes. Tasty and nutritious, a vegetarian main dish or a good side dish. You could easily add garlic, cooking it with the onions, add some mushrooms, adding with the tomatoes, and I think some chilli, fresh, powdered or flaked, would also add a bit of spice to this very versatile dish!

SPINACH IN PEANUT SAUCE



Spinach in Peanut Sauce image

This is my version of something I had in Tanzania. It is very easy to cook but amazingly tasty! If you like it and prefer a creamier sauce you can add 1/4 block of creamed coconut to the water. If you like your meat you can add pieces of chicken or pork when frying up the onions.
