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
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.
