Ingredients

  • 3 large red bell peppers
  • 2 scotch bonnet
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/4 cup Palm oil
  • 2 tablespoons crayfish blended
  • 2 tablespoon locust bean
  • 1 bouillon cube
  • Salt to taste
  • 1.5 lb spinach blanched
  • 1/2 cup stock Fish About 2 handfuls shredded
  • 1 prawn about a handful, Dried
  • 1 onion medium size diced
  • 1 lb Beef A mixture of Beef, Tripe, and cow Skin.

Instructions

  • Blend the bell peppers, scotch bonnet, and onion.
  • Preheat the palm oil - I like it hot but not bleached. Add the diced onion and stir-fry till golden brown. Add the blended peppers and fry until the sauce thickens up. It takes about 15 minutes, and you need to stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Stir in the crayfish, locust bean, bouillon cube, and salt to taste. Stir until everything is well blended.
  • Add the meat, stockfish, and dried prawns and add some water or stock to thin out the sauce, then cover it up again and allow it to come to a simmer.
  • Finally, add the spinach and mix well. Then leave it to cook uncovered for about 2 to 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
