East African Sukuma Wiki

Yields4 Servings

 2 tbsp olive oil
 1 medium yellow onion, diced
 1 clove garlic, minced, or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
 1 large tomato, diced
 1 chicken bouillon cube
 1 dash of cayenne pepper ( a little bit goes a long way!)
 1 bunch (about 3 handfuls) of collard greens, thinly sliced
 Salt and pepper to taste
1

Add the olive oil and onion to a pan over medium heat. Saute the onion until clear and soft, about 3-4 minutes.

2

Add the garlic and tomato to the pan and saute 1-3 more minutes. Add bouillon and stir. Cover and turn the heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes.

3

Uncover the pan. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Cook on low for 5-10 minutes, stirring often. You’ll know it’s done when the collard greens are wilted and soft!

Notes
4

Sukuma wiki is usually served with a corn flour dish called ugali. For an American twist, try sukuma wiki with cornbread.

5

You could also top your greens with cooked and diced ham or bacon to make this like American collard greens. Or top them with crushed peanuts, a common African ingredient in this kind of dish.
