Spinach or Rape with Peanut Sauce(African)

Serves 4 to 6

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt,
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 pounds spinach or Rape, well washed, stems removed, and coarsely chopped.

Heat the oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or soup kettle. (I usually just use a large skillet.) Add the onions and bell pepper, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the peanut butter, vinegar, salt, and cayenne. Add the spinach or Rape and cook, stirring often, just until wilted, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.



Mushroom with Tofu-Satay Style (Asian)

This will serve 2-3 people.

1 cup of boiled noodles,
1 cup powdered raw peanuts,
4 dried red chillies (available in Asian stores),
Firm Tofu cut into cubes,
1 tsp minced garlic,
1 pack of button mushrooms chopped into small pcs,
1tsp brown sugar,
1/4 cup soy sauce,
2 tbsp Rice Vinegar,
1 bunch green onions chopped,
Salt to taste.

Fry green onions till still crisp in a saucepan in a little quantity of vegetable oil.

Add the mushrooms and cook till soft.

In the meantime grind the raw peanuts and the red chillies in a food processor.

Add this mixture to the saucepan along with soya sauce, brown sugar and vinegar.

Cook it on the gas top till it blends well.

Add salt to taste.

Add the tofu and just heat it a little and then add the noodles and mix it well and serve hot.

You may vary the dry chillies to make it more spicy. This version is also fairly spicy.
