Several people have asked me for these directions. I don't have a recipe for this, just a general plan. Next time we host the "africa meal" I will try to pay more attention to how I prepare it.
Sukuma Wiki (greens)
Use collard greens, swiss chard, or other green leafy vegetable.
Wash greens carefully to remove grit and sand. Remove woody center stem. Chop greens into small pieces.
Chop onions and tomatoes. Cook onions for a few minutes, add tomatoes and cook briefly. Add greens. Depending on the type of greens, you may need to add water. Swiss Chard has lots of liquid in it, so you don't need to add water to it. Collard greens do require water - but only add a small amount (1/2 cup ? - depends on the amount of greens you are cooking). The goal is to steam them, NOT boil them as American cooks usually do. Cook until tender. Serve with ugali (see Newcomer's Cookbook for directions).
