African Groundnut Stew

StrongerTogether.coop

This stew is delicious served over rice or couscous. Substitute collard greens or kale for the spinach, or add tofu or cooked chicken to make it even heartier. Looking for more spice? Harissa sauce is authentically North African, but sriracha also works with these flavors.
