👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the white rice thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice with 1.5 cups (360ml) of water and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is cooked.
2. While the rice cooks, heat vegetable oil in a separate large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add chopped tomato to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it breaks down slightly. Stir in the peanut butter and 1/4 cup (60ml) of water until a smooth sauce forms; simmer for 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Gently fold the cooked rice into the peanut butter sauce, ensuring it is well coated. Serve immediately and enjoy your Mupunga We Dovi!
