Monday Night Asara

Today I made one of my favorite meals.  Asara a West African dish made with spinach and sweet potatoes.  But today I decided to make it different by using Swiss Chard out of my garden.  After gathering the greens, I washed and chopped them up and slow cooked them in a iron skillet coated with zomi spice palm oil  in the oven with a sweet potatoes, sliced yellow onion, chopped mushrooms, garlic, dried smoked crawfish and natural peanut butter.  I covered the pan with foil and baked in the over at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.  I so love it!  I could eat this everyday if  needed.  When I was in grad school I pretty much ate like that because it was a cheaper way to eat.But now I eat this way because I want to.
