African Spinach Stew
Sam Hanna
PUBLISHED June 19, 2026
Spinach is a sign of strength, resourcefulness, and its connection to earth. It’s a humble and grounding meal that can heal the body as well. All those things you need when starting over from any point; in fact, it’s one of your greatest needs! I cooked this and I immediately thought of my daddy; the bold flavors go perfectly with smoked meats. I sent him a container and he immediately called and said how he loved it and how the flavor was crazy! – Toya Boudy
