Nigerian (Oilless) Seafood Spinach Stew (Efo)

Instructions

Cut the bell peppers, chilies, onions and garlic into quarters and blend with a little water till smooth consistency
Pour mixture in pot on medium to high heat, cover pot and allow to cook for 20mins
After 20mins, add a 1tbsp of tomato chilli puree, maggi and sea salt and cook for further 5 mins
While tomato stew is cooking, chop mackarel into bits and leave on side
Once stew is ready, add in mackarel and other seafood. Add seasoning in as well
Mix together and let cook for 5 – 7 mins
Chop the spinach into small bits and slowly add into stew pot
Keep stirring the spinach as you add in gradually ( it might seem like a lot, but as it wilts, you will be able to fit more into the pot/stew)
Once all is added in, stir and cook for further 4-5 mins before taking off the hub (add in any further spices/pepper as you see fit – I added in more chilli because I like it Hot!)
Serve with side of grain (quinoa/rice/bulgur wheat) or/and plantain
Enjoy!
