How to Make Spinach M Chicha East African

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onions and 1/2 cup chopped peanuts. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned and fragrant.
  2. Add 10 ounces (approximately 2 cups) of chopped fresh spinach to the saucepan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until all the liquid from the spinach has evaporated and it's wilted.
  3. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few dashes of Tabasco sauce (to taste).
  4. Serve immediately over poached or scrambled eggs. Garnish with 1/4 cup grated coconut, if desired.
