Sukuma wiki with tomatoes and onions

Sukuma wiki (collard greens) is quick, cheap and full of goodness. Cook it briefly so it stays bright green. Serves 4 as a side.

Ingredients

• 1 large bunch sukuma wiki, washed
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• Salt to taste
• A squeeze of lemon (optional)

Method

1. Remove the thick stems, roll the leaves together and slice them very thinly.
2. Cook the onion in the oil until soft. Add the tomatoes and a pinch of salt and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the sukuma and stir for 3 to 5 minutes, just until it wilts and is tender. Do not overcook.
4. Season with salt and a squeeze of lemon, and serve with ugali, githeri or ndengu.
