👨‍🍳 निर्देश

1. 1

   Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped chili pepper (if using) to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to break down.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and 1 cup of water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensuring the peanut butter is well-dissolved prevents lumps.
5. 5

   Add the remaining 2 cups of water, salt, and black pepper. Bring the stew to a simmer.

6. 6

   Gently add the catfish pieces to the simmering stew. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Avoid over-stirring once the fish is added to prevent it from breaking apart.
7. 7

   Add the chopped mixed greens to the pot. Stir them into the stew and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the greens are wilted and tender.

8. 8

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, traditionally with nsima or rice.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: The greens will reduce significantly in volume.
