The last of the recipes I adapted to american kitchens after travelling in africa. Its basically a version of creamed spinach.

i just use frozen chopped spinach, because it saves a ton of steps, tastes almost the same, and is a fraction of the price |

Equipment:
a pot
Ingredients
2 packs of frozen chopped spinach, defrosted & drained (you can reserve the water and use it as part of the next ingredient)
3 cups of water
1 can 'thick' or 'first' coconut milk, shaked&stirred
1 onion chopped finely
1 green chli
2 tomatoes chopped
2 tsp salt
[optional]
1 small potato , diced into 1/3" thick pices
a handful of okra, sliced into 1/3" thick pieces
~1/2 cup eggplant, diced into 1/3" thick pices
Directions
Put everything, except for 1/2 the coconut milk into a pot.
Bring to a boil, then simmer down until its almost dry.
Add in the rest of the coconut milk and simmer for 5minutes.

Good recipe! I made it with 2 cups of water instead of 3 as it takes a looong time (at least an hour) to cook down. Also, if you want any of the vegetables intact, I would add them in towards the end, otherwise they completely cook down and melt into the spinach. |
