Instructions
- Dry-toast the peanuts in a pan for a few minutes, then blend them into a fine powder with 100 ml of water.
- Fry the sliced onion in the oil until golden, then add the chopped tomatoes.
- Stir in the finely chopped greens and let them wilt for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the peanut mixture and the rest of the water, then mix well.
- Season and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring regularly so the purée doesn't catch.
- Adjust the consistency with a little water if needed and serve hot.
Variations and tips
Peanut butter version. Replace the toasted peanuts with 4 tablespoons of plain peanut butter, which is quicker.
