Sauteed Spinach from Botswana

olive oil

onion (sliced)

Tomatoes (cubed)

red bell pepper (sliced)

spinach leaves

Salt

Pepper

Chili powder

butter

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat.

Once the oil is heated, add the cut onion, red pepper, and tomato. Cook until the vegetables are cooked all the way through and are easily pierced with a fork.

Add the spinach. You may need to add it half at a time in order to have enough room. If this is the case, add 10 oz of spinach and wait for it to wilt. Then add the rest.

Cook until the spinach is wilted to your desired consistency. Then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste.

Transfer spinach to a separate plate. Top with small dollops of butter and allow the heat of the dish to melt it. Enjoy!

Pap is a staple in Botswana. It is made from cornmeal and beef broth and is a base at most meals. Read on to find out how to make this authentic Batswana recipe!

Pap (Botswana)

white cornmeal

beef broth

Bring the beef broth to a boil in a large pot.

Once the broth is boiling, use a whisk to stir in cornmeal slowly.

Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until it thickens. You may need to transition to a wooden spoon as the pap continues to thicken.

Make sure to serve immediately, because the pap will thicken as it cools.
