Sukama Wiki is a Kenyan vegetable recipe given to me by Solomon, a Ugandan studying in Swansea, Wales. Sukumawiki in Swahili mean," pushing through the week" or "to stretch the week". The main ingredient in the recipe is Kenyan greens (kale / collard greens). These greens were brought to Kenya as fodder to feed the cows and the cows did so well on it. They were producing better milk and they just looked healthier. When the locals saw this, they said," there must be something in this,"and started to use it as food- the rest they say is culinary history.
This is Solomons' version and I have stuck to his recipe.
