Spinach Stew (central African Republic)

Ingredients

2 small onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp oil
2 tomatoes, peeled, and sliced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 lbs. fresh spinach, chopped, or 2 small packages frozen spinach
1 teaspoon salt
2 chili peppers, or = tsp. cayenne pepper
4 Tbsp peanut butter

Instructions

Serves 6.. In a heavy skillet or stew pot, saute onions in moderately hot oil until golden. Stir in tomatoes and green pepper. After a minute or so, add spinach, salt and hot pepper. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Thin peanut butter with several tablespoons of warm water to make a smooth paste. Add to the pot. Continue cooking for another 10 - 15 minutes, stirring frequently, and keeping a close watch to prevent burning. Add small amounts of water as necessary so that the stew doesn't stick to the pot bottom. Serve with rice or a stiff porridge.
