Peanut butter adds a creamy richness to this dish.

1/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions

1. Sautee onion, garlic, and chiles.

2. Stir in tomatoes and peanut butter. Cook 5 minutes. Add a little water if needed. Add reserved spinach. Season with salt.

Notes: The peanut butter helps balance the spicyness of the dish
