    Kenyan Sukuma Wiki (Wilted greens with onions and tomatoes)

    Kenyan Sukuma Wiki is a healthy side dish and often used with any meat leftovers.  Sukuma wiki actually means "stretch the week" in Swahili.  I happen to have an abundance of kale and collard greens in our International Cuisine garden.  Many Africans rely on subsistence farming for their food. There is just something so rewarding about going out to the garden and gathering what is fresh and delicious.  This dish can be made with collard greens, kale, chard or even the leaves of tubers like cassava or others. It is simple to make. Enjoy this traditional Kenyan dish and feel free to add in some leftover meat to "stretch the week".
