Mullah Kombo
Mullah Kombo is a hearty and flavorful South Sudanese stew that combines tender beef, okra, spinach, and the unique addition of peanut butter and 'kombo' (bicarbonate of soda or magadi soda). This dish is a staple in many South Sudanese households, often served with kisra, injera, or asida.

👨🍳 Instrucciones

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.

While the beef is simmering, prepare the okra. If using fresh okra, trim the ends. If using frozen, ensure it's thawed.

In a separate pot, add the okra and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

Once the beef is tender, add the cooked okra and spinach to the pot with the beef. Stir to combine.

Simmer the stew, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the stew to reach your desired consistency. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
