Efo Riro

We carefully simmer spinach, kale and other leafy greens into this iconic Nigerian dish until perfectly tender.

Scotch bonnets, curry powder and red palm oil lend the stew its fiery hue and distinctly sweet, nutty flavor.

The amorphous stew takes on the shape of whatever starch — from fluffy white rice to firm fufu — making this versatile side an ideal accompaniment to any meal.
