  • Peel potatoes and cut them into wedges. Remove the cores of tomatoes and red pepper, cut them into cubes, set aside.

  • In a medium pot, add 185mls/2/3 cup of sunflower oil. Allow to heat up. Once hot, add the meat, fry for about 2 mins, add onion. Stir for some seconds, and then add tomatoes and hot pepper.
  • Fry the tomatoes for about 5 mins, add a cube of knorr seasoning. Add the aubergine, red pepper and carrots. Turn down the gas heat and allow to  simmer for 8 – 10 mins so all the ingredients can blend together.

  • Then add the potatoes, turn and allow simmering for another 5 mins, so the potatoes sucks up some of the juice from the ingredients.  Turn, taste and turn of the gas. Then finally add the spinach, turn and serve
