Chilli Um'bido RecipeOrigin: sub-Saharan Africa Period: Traditional |
|
This sauce, also known as Maafe, is common to much of sub-Saharan Africa and is a sticky stew intended to be eaten with FuFu though it can also be eaten with rice. The greens used also vary and are often the greens of leguminous plants rather than spinach and it can also include meat and/or seafood. Ingredients
900g spinach 
Chilli Um'bido Preparation:Method:In a heavy-bottomed pan add the oil and heat until almost smoking. Fry the chillies for about 3 minutes then add the spinach. Stirring constantly, wilt the spinach then add just enough water to cover. After about 4 minutes sprinkle in the peanuts and stir-in well. Cover and continue to cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary to prevent burning. Drain before serving and mix-in the oil, salt and pepper. This is a variant of the classic um'bido that seems peculiar to West Africa. |
