Spinach and Peanut Butter Stew is a traditional West African recipe for a version of the 'greens in peanut sauce' stew common to most West African countries. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic West African version of: Spinach and Peanut Butter Stew.

Ingredients:

2 onions, sliced
2 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
4 scotch bonnet chillies, pounded to a paste
900g spinach, washed, trimmed and chopped
4 tbsp peanut butter
salt and black pepper to taste
oil for frying

Method:

Fry the onions in a large pot until soft. Add tomatoes and chillies to the pot and fry for a minute or so, then add the spinach. Cook, covered, on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking. Thin the peanut butter with 100ml of hot water to form a smooth paste and add to the stew.

Season with salt and pepper and cook for a further 8 minutes (continue stirring). Serve immediately.
