Peanut butter is a common meal component throughout Africa (like Ghana’s Groundnut Soup, Sierra Leone’s Gluten-free Peanut Bites, Senegal’s Cinq Centimes Cookies, and Malawi’s Peanut Balls), but Combo stands out as one of the more rustic dishes I’ve come across. Even still, South Sudanese no longer living in South Sudan make Combo to bring themselves back.

Instructions
- Brown the meat in oil. Then, add the onions and garlic, cook several minutes, until the onions begin to soften and even color a bit. Pour on the stock and simmer until liquid reduces by half.
- Now for the fun… stir in the peanut butter until well incorporated. The mixture will become very thick. Add the tomatoes, spinach and cook until the spinach wilts and the peanut butter releases its oils, making the dish shiny.
- This only took a few minutes for me. Serve with a flatbread, like kisra, or rice.
