liquid is simmering, add the peanut butter a spoonful at a time and keep stirring until it
is well incorporated. The sauce should be fairly thick (stew like, not soup like), so you
may need to add more peanut butter or loosen with water depending upon the ingredients you
use. Add chopped collards/greens and cook until very wilted. Season, to taste, with chili
paste/sambal oelek and salt.

Serve over rice or other starch.

Traditional African stiff porridge would be served on the side and used to dip into the
sauce with one's hands. Pull off a piece the size of a meatball, use your thumb to make an
impression in the porridge and use the divet to scoop up the stew and pop it into your
mouth! Enjoy.
