Peanut butter spinach

Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch spinach
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) butter or oil
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) cake flour
  • 250ml (1 cup) milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • 125ml ( cup) peanut butter
  • Peanuts, chopped, to garnish
  • Cherry tomatoes, to garnish

Method

Rinse the spinach leaves and place in a pot with a small amount of water. Cover and cook until wilted. Drain and set aside to cool. Heat the butter or oil in a pot and add the flour, stirring until smooth.

Remove from the heat and add the milk, stirring well. Return to the heat, stirring until it boils and thickens. Add salt to taste. Stir in the peanut butter.

Squeeze the spinach tightly to remove all the excess water, then chop finely and add to the sauce, stirring to combine. Heat through and serve as a side dish, garnished with chopped peanuts and cherry tomatoes.

Serves 4
