Efo riro - Nigerian Spinach Stew image

Efo riro (Nigerian Spinach Stew) is a mouthwatering, savory, African stew made with 'Efo Shoko' (Lagos spinach) or 'Efo Tete' (African spinach). Who knew spinach could taste so good?

Provided by Tayo Oredola

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!

The base is made with red bell peppers, habanero peppers, onions and tomatoes, so I occasionally just use my African pepper sauce that I make in batches instead.
