Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 288 g tripe
  • 203 g smoked turkey
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 1 habanero pepper
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp palm oil
  • 48 oz chopped steamable spinach or thawed frozen spinach
  • 8 g ground crayfish
  • 1 tbsp seasoning your preferred blend
  • Salt to taste, optional

Method
 

  1. Blend the red bell peppers, onion, and habanero.
  2. Add the tripe and smoked turkey to a pot, pour in the blended pepper base, and begin cooking.
  3. Allow the proteins to cook in the pepper mixture until tender and the liquid reduces.
  4. Add the palm oil, ground crayfish and seasoning. Allow it to simmer so the flavors combine.
  5. Add the chopped spinach and mix well.
  6. Cook until the spinach integrates fully and the stew thickens.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Once ready, divide into 5 portions for meal prep.
  9. Allow to cool fully before sealing the meal prep containers.

Notes

  • You can adjust the pepper heat level by reducing or increasing the habanero.
  • If using frozen spinach, ensure you squeeze out excess water to avoid a watery stew.
  • This recipe freezes very well.
  • Works great with yam, rice, potatoes, plantain, or eaten alone as a low-carb option.
