Central African Republic Spinach Stew

Ingredients:

2 small onions, finely chopped

2 tbsp oil

2 tomatoes, peeled and sliced

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1kg fresh spinach, chopped

1 tsp salt

2 hot chilli peppers

4 tbsp peanut butter

Cooking Instructions:

In a large heavy casserole dish fry the onions in moderately hot oil until golden brown in colour. Add the tomatoes and green pepper. After about a minute add the spinach, salt and chillies. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Mix the peanut butter with several tablespoons of warm water and form a smooth paste. Add this to the pot and continue cooking for a further 15 minutes, stirring frequently. If necessary add small amounts of water to the pot to prevent the contents from burning. Stir on a bed of rice or with a stiff fufu-like porridge.
