Efo Riro — Spinach stew where the greens go in last and stay green

Efo riro means "stirred greens", but the greens are the last thing to happen. Everything before them is a base built on fried locust bean and palm oil, and the greens go in for four minutes flat.

Method

  1. Bleach the palm oil lightly — 90 seconds only

    Medium heat until it thins and the colour deepens. Do not let it smoke.
