About Couves com Óleo de Palma e Amendoim
Sonia Maria da Silva shares these couve greens through Sabores Africanos, her collection preserving Angolan food traditions. The dish cooks the greens with ground peanuts, palm oil and gindungo chillies.
The peanuts are crushed to a paste, mixed with water and strained. This liquid is brought to the boil with chilli and salt before the greens are added; palm oil enters near the end.
The result is a cooked leafy accompaniment in a peanut-based sauce. A scholarly account identifies the named greens, palm-oil and peanut dish with Kimbundu traditions around Luanda.
