Matata: Clams in Port Wine
A clam stew with Port wine, tomato, spinach and peanuts. Serves 4; allow about 15 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to cook.
Matata combines clams and Port wine in a sauce with tomato and peanuts; the spinach goes in at the end so it just wilts. Serve it on its own or over white rice.
