Spinach in Groundnut and Simsim Sauce / Peanut and Sesame Sauce

Greens cooked in odii (groundnut paste) is typical of Acholi (Nilotic people, Uganda) dish.  Usually "Malakwang" (Hibiscus cannabinus) leaves are used for this dish.  These are slightly slippery and sour when cooked.  As these are not readily available in the UK, kale or spinach can be used. Okra can be added to give the slippery texture.
