Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 cups spinach (chopped)
12 oz cooked meat (I used goat meat but you can use any.)
2 cups mushrooms
½ cup palm oil
2 plum tomatoes (also known as roma tomatoes)
1 red bell pepper
1 habanero pepper
1 onion
¼ cup water or stock (optional)
2 tsp bouillon powder
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp ground crayfish
1 tsp pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Blend tomatoes, red bell pepper, habanero pepper and half of the onion together using a food processor.
  • Chop up the other half of the onion and set aside.
  • If using fresh spinach, chop it up, wash and squeeze, and leave in a colander. If using frozen spinach, microwave for a few minutes.
  • Wash and drain the mushrooms.
  • Heat palm oil in a pot on medium heat, add in your onions and stir for about 2 minutes.
  • Add in your blended tomato and pepper mix and stir for about a minute.
  • Add the bouillon powder, crayfish, black pepper, cayenne pepper and salt, and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • If using fresh spinach, add stock or water and bring to a boil.
  • Add the goat meat, mushroom, and any other meat you desire and let boil for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and stir intermittently for about 5 minutes.
  • Add more salt or spices if desired.
  • Garnish with red pepper flakes, if you want it spicier and enjoy!
