African Pineapple Peanut Stew

  • INGREDIENTS:
    - 1 Cup Chopped Onions
    - 2 Minced or Pressed Garlic Cloves
    - 1 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
    - 4 Cups Kale, Sliced
    - 2 Cups Pineapple, Canned Crushed and Undrained
    - 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
    - 1 Tbsp. Tabasco or Hot Pepper Sauce
    - 1/2 Cup Chopped Cilantro
     -Taste of Salt

Use a covered saucepan to saute onions and garlic in oil for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions are lightly browned.

While the onions are being saute, wash the kale.
Remove the stems
Stack the leaves on a cutting board and slice crosswise into 1 in. think slices.
Add the pineapple and its juice to the onions and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the kale, cover, and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring a few times, just until tender.
Mix in the peanut butter, hot pepper sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add salt to taste.

You can also use spinach instead of the kale but you may wish to use more since the spinach shrivels up considerably more than the kale does.
