Fondly referring to their home country Rwanda as the land of a thousand hills, Taste of Rwanda’s passion for food stems from the many African women in their families who would always be cooking up a storm for friends and the wider communities. Enjoy this curry with our specially crafted Pili Pili sauce, which you’ll notice is very similar to peri peri sauce!

Ingredients

Beef Curry

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 600g diced beef (sous-vide jus)
  • 1 pack Taste of Rwanda's spice blend
  • 60g tomato paste
  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 2 garlic clove, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 brown onion, finely diced

Spinach

  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 2 tomato, diced
  • 1 bunch spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 brown onion, finely diced

To serve

  • 4 Tbsp yoghurt
  • 4 Tbsp pili pili sauce
  • 1 Tbsp butter, optional
  • 3/4 pack garlic roti breads

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake), if using.
  2. Finely dice onion and roughly chop garlic (set aside half of the onion and garlic aside for the spinach). Heat oil in large pot on medium-high heat and cook onion and garlic for 3 minutes until starting to soften. Add tomato paste and Taste of Rwanda's spice blend and cook for a further minute, or until fragrant.
  3. Add beef (including all juices from bag), canned tomatoes and water measure. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes until beef is hot through and sauce has thickened.
  4. Wrap roti in foil and heat in oven for about 12-15 minutes, until warmed through. Alternatively, wrap stack of roti in a damp tea towel and heat in microwave for 1-2 minutes, until warm (see tip). While cooking melt butter. Once roti have been warmed, brush with butter.
  5. Remove stem from spinach and roughly chop. Dice tomatoes. Heat oil in large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic for 3 minutes until starting to soften. Add spinach and cook for 2-3 mins to wilt. Remove from heat, add tomatoes and toss to combine.
  6. Beef with spinach. Serve pili pili sauce and yoghurt on the side with roti for dunking.
