A pot on its own is very adequate for one person. If you serve with rice, potato, on toast etc, then a pot is enough for 2 people.

This delicious West African hotpot is a colourful profusion of beans, chicken, peanuts, sweet potatoes and spinach so perhaps thats why its called palava which means to talk profusely! Anyway, this combination of superfoods is sure to keep you energised all day long..

Lovely lunch idea: if you are feeling particularly hungry serve with a baked potato!

Super supper idea: for a real African theme serve with fried plantain. Or simply serve with brown rice and top with fresh coriander.
