EFO RIRO SOUP RECIPE
I usually blanch my Spinach before I stir them in the sauce – I do this by adding the cut spinach in hot boiling water on high heat then I take it off the heat immediately it reaches its boiling point. I then pour the spinach in a sieve and I rinse it under the coldest water I can get from the tap a couple of times in order to stop the cooking process.
Remember to drain off water from the spinach to make the stew not to be watery.
Remember to drain off as much water as you can from the Spinach. (Excess water from the Spinach can cause your stew to be too watery)
I don’t always use Tomatoes in cooking my traditional stewed spinach. However, I see no reason why it can’t be added especially if you are making a lighter version of this stew.
It is advisable to blanch the spinach before adding it to the sauce. To achieve this, put the spinach in hot boiling water, allow to boil for 1-2 minutes, and then sieve and rinse in a cold water.
