Sukuma Wiki

Sukuma wiki is an East African dish made with collard greens, known locally as sukuma, cooked with onions and spices, particularly prominent in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Its name literally translates to push the week or stretch the week, reflecting its role as an affordable, year round vegetable staple, and it is prepared by lightly sauteing the greens in oil until tender, flavored with onions and seasoned with salt. It typically accompanies ugali, a cornmeal staple, and functions as either the main vegetable accompaniment or a side dish alongside a preferred meat such as fish, chicken, beef or pork.
