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!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 medium onions
2 large tomatoes or 410 g canned tomatoes
2 lbs spinach
4 tablespoons peanut butter
salt
pepper
oil (for frying)

Directions

1
Slice the onions and fry in oil until soft.
2
Peel the tomatoes in boiling water (or use tinned tomatoes). Slice and add to the onions.
3
Wash, trim and chop the spinach coarsely.
4
Add to the stew and cook, covered, over a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
5
Thin the peanut butter with hot water to make a smooth paste.
6
Add to the stew.
7
Season with salt and pepper and cook for another 5 - 10 minutes, stirring and adding water if necessary to prevent sticking.
8
Serve over steamed rice, polenta, or mashed potatoes, in fact, you could eat it with anything, really!

I love this dish! I also found it first on the downunder website but then lost it and needed it again and found it here (thank you!). I use canned tomatoes and serve it over quinoa. It is SO good - I always want to eat a ton of it!!

Supper healthy, quick, and great served over garlic flavored polenta. Did add just a little black pepper.

5 stars all the way! Thanks for posting this as it was a nice change for using spinach. The only change I made was to add one level tsp. of ground cumin to the mix. Never needed to use salt....which is a good thing IMHO.

I was looking for something a little different and this really hit the spot. It was excellent! Very nutritious too. I did go a little heavy on the peanut butter. Beats a PB+J any day.
