This dish is essentially Sao Tomean Feijoada made with pork rather than the more typical fish and minus the beans. It can also be considered as a Sao Tomean equivalent of Nigerian Efo Riro, but made with pork rather than tripe and mixed meats.

Ingredients:

1kg pork, chopped into small pieces
2 medium onions, cut into thin rings
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 tbsp palm oil
3 ripe tomatoes, blanched, peeled and chopped
1 bayleaf
1 bunch spinach leaves
salt and cayenne pepper to taste

Method:

Add the pork to salted water and boiled until cooked. Meanwhile fry the onion, garlic, tomatoes and bayleaf in the palm oil until the onions have softened. Season with salt and pepper then add the pork to the tomato mixture.

If the sauce seems thick add a little more water and the spinach leaves. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve with mashed plantains.
