Personal Notes:
A friend who was a missionary in Africa, taught me how to make this dish.
However she only used spinach as a vegetable and it was served over rice.
My variation of the recipe is fast and easy to prepare.
Hot peppers can be added directly to the peppers and onions for those that like HOT food
Cold beer goes along well as a beverage.
