🌿Hey Fam! Let's make EFO RIRO today😋 (Nigerian Spinach Stew) Ingredients: 2 bunches of fresh spinach or 1 kg frozen spinach (washed, chopped) 1 cup palm oil (or ½ cup if preferred lighter) 1 large onion (sliced) 3-4 red bell peppers (tatashe) 2-3 scotch bonnet peppers (ata rodo) 2 tomatoes (optional) 2 tablespoons ground crayfish 1-2 stock cubes Salt to taste Smoked fish (e.g., panla or mackerel) Ponmo (cow skin), diced Assorted meats (shaki, beef, kidney, etc.) Locust beans (iru) – optional but adds rich flavor Instructions: Boil meats with seasoning and onions until soft. Add ponmo and smoked fish near the end so they don’t overcook. Blend peppers and tomatoes roughly (you want a coarse texture). Heat palm oil in a pot, add sliced onions and fry until translucent. Add locust beans and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes. Add blended pepper mix and fry for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil floats on top and it's well reduced. Add crayfish, stock cubes, and salt, then stir. Add meats and fish, and let everything simmer for 5–10 minutes. Add spinach, stir well, and cook for 5–7 minutes. Don’t overcook to retain color and nutrients. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
