Ndole Beef Stew with Fried Plantains
Lean beef simmered in a creamy, aromatic peanut and spinach sauce, paired with golden-brown fried plantains that offer a delightful caramelized sweetness.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz lean ground beef (93%)
2 cups fresh spinach
1.5 tbsp raw peanuts
0.5 medium yellow plantain
2 tsp avocado oil
0.25 cup yellow onion
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp fresh ginger
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 cup water
PREPARATION
Place the raw peanuts in a high-speed blender or food processor with 2 tablespoons of the water and pulse until a smooth, thick paste forms.
Heat 1 teaspoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef, sea salt, and black pepper, breaking it up with a spatula until browned.
Add the diced yellow onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet with the beef and sauté for 3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the peanut paste and the remaining water, then gradually fold in the fresh spinach, stirring until the greens are wilted and the sauce has thickened into a creamy consistency.
While the stew simmers on low, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of avocado oil in a separate non-stick pan over medium heat.
Peel and slice the plantain into diagonal rounds, then fry them for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden-brown and slightly caramelized.
Serve the savory Ndole beef stew in a shallow bowl with the warm fried plantains on the side.
