how to cook matapa with veronica

ingredients:
peanuts 1/2 cup (or cashews) crushed
coconut milk 1 can
1 large bundle of kale
3 small onions
1 medium bell pepper

crush peanuts with a small wooden hand carved mortar and pestle or if you want to see Veronica squeal use a food processor :)
wash kale extremely thoroughly and don't freak out when you see a worm or two. maybe even soak kale in a little diluted bleach water since the cholera outbreak and all. cut greens into small pieces. i start mine by cutting them julienne and go from there. cover kale in water and bring to a boil. (you can use any combination of any leafy greans. spinach, collard greens, etc. mix and match.) cover.  after boiling for a few minutes, stir and add the onion and peppers. cover again. let that cook for maybe 8 minutes or more and then add peanuts and coconut milk. the original recipe calls for oil but i don't think it needs it or that it is good for you. the peanuts and the coconut suffice. add salt. boil on medium until water boils off and you are left with the greens just covered in broth.
serve over rice.

you will need to know the Portuguese word "queimar"- to burn

i taught Veronica the English word "smile" and she taught me "sorrir"
