Sukuma Wiki

"A Kenyan vegetarian / side vegetable dish, which means "stretch the week" in Swahili. I became completely addicted to this while visiting Kenya. It is eaten with Ugali (I've posted that recipe separately), either on its own or (when it's to be had) with meat or fish. I love it on its own, and generally don't bother with meat if Sukuma Wiki is around! This is the easy, basic but less tasty version. If you're willing to put in a little bit more effort for a lot more flavour try Recipe #207540 which is a slightly more involved sukuma wikki that I've posted. Enjoy!"

  1. Ate this with Ugali. Looked very pretty. The greens and tomato were homegrown so you couldn't go wrong there and it was a cheap healthy meal.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love to cook, and I love to eat! As a result I prefer to cook and eat healthy, low cal food on the whole, but only if it tastes good :-) I'm British, lived in Germany for 12 years, but have now moved back to the UK. We try to grow and make as much of our food as we can.
