SHOKO (A GHANAIAN BEEF & SPINACH STEW)

Shoko is a spicy Beef, Tomato and Spinach sauce from Ghana. The Tomato sauce is spiced with Garlic, Ginger and Aniseed; and cooked till you have a thick paste. This is a perfect dish for the cold months ahead.

Traditionally the amount of Chilli used is more, as it’s supposed to be very spicy. I’ve used 1 Habanero Chilli for this recipe which worked perfectly. You can reduce the amount of Chilli to your personal preference. 

Ingredients 

1 large Onion 

10ml of Vegetable oil or your preferred oil

200g of Tomatoes 

1 tablespoonful of Tomato paste or purée 

1 tablespoonful of a Garlic, Ginger & Aniseed blend

Half a Shrimp stock cube or a teaspoon of Shrimp powder 

1 large and sliced Habanero Chilli

400g of Spinach or Cocoyam leaves

Salt to taste

Enjoy this sauce and with either Rice, Yam or Potatoes.
