Having come up with a way to prepare
Blanched and Part-dried Nettle Leaves in an African manner I've adapted a number of classic African recipes to make the most of my stores of these greens. This is one of those recipes.
Ingredients:
1kg
Blanched and Part-dried Nettle Leaves
250ml smooth peanut butter
200g peanuts, finely chopped in a food processor
1 hot habanero chilli
225g dried prawns (or cooked and peeled fresh prawns if you cannot obtain these)
salt, to taste
Method:
Add the leaves to a pan, cover with water and boil half-covered for about 1 hour. When ready, drain.
Whisk the peanut butter with 250ml water then add to a pan along with the chopped peanuts, the nettle greens and he chilli. Bring to a boil and add the dried prawns. Season to taste then add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until the water has reduced and the dish is almost dry (add cooked prawns about 10 minutes before serving). Serve over plain rice or with Funje.
