Boil beef seasoned with salt, seasoning cubes, half an onion, one habanero pepper, and grated ginger in enough water to cover the meat.

Cook the beef for about 10 minutes.

Roast already roasted peanuts to help release oils for blending.

Set roasted peanuts aside to cool for 1-2 minutes before blending.

Debone and cut smoked turkey thigh into bite-sized pieces.

Cut peppers, tomatoes, and remaining onion into small bits for blending.

Blend the cut vegetables with the previously added habanero and a little water.

Stir in the blended mixture into the cooked beef along with crayfish and palm oil.

Cover and cook the stew on low to medium heat, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning.

Add blended peanuts to the stew and mix thoroughly to dissolve the peanut powder.

Cover and allow the stew to thicken for about 12 minutes, checking occasionally.

If the stew is too thick, add more stock or water to loosen it up.

Add spinach and simmer for 1-2 minutes before removing from heat.
