1. Soak the bambara nuts overnight, then drain. Place in a saucepan with the water and salt. Boil for 2 hours or until the bambara nuts are soft. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat the oil in a large pan. Gently fry the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and paprika and sauté for a few minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

3. Add the cooked bambara nuts and stir in the spinach. Fry gently until the spinach is softened but still green, about 3 minutes. Spoon in the peanut butter, add 1/3 cup water and stir through well. Simmer until the sauce is thick. Remove from the heat and serve hot.
