From Sierra Leone, here is one of the more unusual hot sauces.  Besides palm oil, it is charaterized by greens such as cassava or sweet potato leaves: spinich makes an adequate subsititute.  Some versions of this dish are more of a stew than a sauce, but this one is designed to be served over rice.



Ingredients


  • 1 cup red palm oil (found in Asian markets), or substitute peanut oil
  • 1/2 cup minced lean beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapeno chiles, seeds and stems removed, minced
  • 2 cups shredded spinach
  • 1/2 cup smoked fish, such as kippers


Instructions


Heat the palm oil in a large skillet and fry the beef until just brown.  Remove the beef and add the onion and jalapeno until soft, about 8 to 10 mniutes.  Add the spinach and stir fry for 2 minutes.  Return the beef to the skillet, crumble in the fish, and cook for 5 minutes ove medium heat, stirring constantly.  Add more palm oil if the mixture is too thick.
