AFRICAN SPINACH AND GROUNDNUT STEW (AKA PEANUT, KENYA/TANZANIA)



African Spinach and Groundnut Stew (Aka Peanut, Kenya/Tanzania) image

This is from "Best of Regional African Cooking". The original calls for 1/2 c. finely ground unsalted peanuts. That's too much work, so I substituted peanut butter. This is a very thick, rich vegetable side. It is not a stew like we think of stews in the US. My husband liked it, and it is the only spinach dish he will eat.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 onion, chopped
1 chili pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup light coconut milk
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
salt

Steps:

  • Saute onions and chili pepper in oil until onion is transparent.
  • Add peanut butter and coconut milk slowly, stirring constantly until it comes to a boil. Add spinach. Salt to taste.
  • Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until spinach is cooked.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh coconut milk. Canned coconut milk can be used, but it will not produce as flavorful rice.
  • If you don't have turmeric powder, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the rice. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Serve yellow coconut rice with your favorite Tanzanian dishes, such as grilled chicken, fish, or beef stew.

Conclusion:

Yellow coconut rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish. It is a popular dish in Tanzania and is often served at special occasions. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook rice, be sure to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
