Ingredients
- 500 grams Bitterleaf (washed and squeezed)
- 300 grams Fresh Spinach
- 2 cups Raw Peanuts (blanched and peeled)
- 500 grams Beef chuck (cubed)
- 1/2 cup Dried Shrimp (crayfish)
- 2 medium Onions (chopped)
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 units Bouillon cubes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- 1
Boil the beef with half an onion, one bouillon cube, and salt until tender; reserve the broth.
- 2
Boil the peanuts in water for 10 minutes, then blend into a smooth paste with a little water.
- 3
Blend the remaining onion, garlic, and ginger into a fine paste.
- 4
In a large pot, simmer the peanut paste with the beef broth for 10 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- 5
Add the blended aromatics, cooked beef, and dried shrimp to the peanut mixture and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- 6
Stir in the washed bitterleaf and spinach, covering the pot to let the greens wilt into the sauce.
- 7
In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil and fry a few onion slices until golden; pour this hot oil over the Ndole (the 'leaching' process).
- 8
Adjust seasoning with salt and bouillon, stir well, and serve hot with fried plantains or miondo.
