Efo Riro, a rich and flavorful Nigerian spinach stew, is already a beloved dish—but adding a touch of dried peppermint can take its taste to the next level. The refreshing, minty notes of dried peppermint complement the earthy, savory flavors of the dish, creating a unique twist on this classic recipe.
Here’s how you can incorporate dried peppermint into your Efo Riro for extra flavor:
When and How to Add Dried Peppermint
- Prepare Your Ingredients
- Start by washing and chopping your vegetables (spinach or any preferred leafy greens).
- Assemble your ingredients, including tomatoes, peppers, onions, spices, and your choice of protein.
- Incorporate the Dried Peppermint
- During Cooking:
- Crush a small amount (1–2 teaspoons) of dried peppermint and add it during the final stages of cooking. Stir it into the pot after adding your leafy greens. This ensures the minty flavor is noticeable but doesn’t overpower the dish.
- As a Garnish:
- Sprinkle a pinch of crushed dried peppermint over the dish just before serving for a fresh, aromatic finish.
- Balance the Flavors
- Dried peppermint has a strong flavor, so use it sparingly. Start with a small amount, taste, and adjust as needed to suit your preference.
- To balance the minty notes, you can add a bit of extra crayfish or groundnut oil for richness.
