👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and coconut milk until smooth. Set aside.
2
Heat the vegetable oil or ghee in a large frying pan or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
3
Add the chopped tomatoes and curry powder to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes begin to break down.
4
Add the chopped spinach to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted and tender, about 5-10 minutes. If using frozen spinach, cook according to package directions.
5
Stir in the drained and rinsed black-eyed peas and the peanut butter-coconut milk mixture. Mix well to combine.
6
Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, until the stew is heated through and the flavors have melded. Add a splash of water or broth if the stew becomes too thick.
7
Season with salt to taste. Serve hot.
