Istruzioni

Start by preparing the dried fish. Rinse it thoroughly to remove excess salt and soak it in water for about 30 minutes to rehydrate. Drain the water and shred the fish into smaller pieces.

In a large pot, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Palm oil has a strong flavor and should be used sparingly.

Add the onion and garlic to the hot palm oil. Sauté them until they become translucent.

Stir in the tomatoes and cook until they start to break down and become soft.

Add the shredded dried fish to the pot and stir to combine with the other ingredients.

Add the green and red bell peppers, okra, and eggplant to the pot. Continue to cook and stir for a few minutes to soften the vegetables.

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 30 minutes.

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 10 minutes and season the Calulu with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve your Calulu hot with a side of rice or funge
