Sukuma Wiki

Sukuma Wiki is the Swahili name for collard greens. It is very popular all over East Africa, especially in Kenya where it is a staple, and is often paired with ugali/posho, which is a steamed corn dough.Unlike American style collard green, sukuma wiki is often cooked without meat or meat stock, so it is vegan and vegetarian friendly. You can also experiment with the seasonings and spices you want to use. For this recipe,I used Royco, which is a popular Kenyan seasoning mix that you can purchase on Amazon, but you can also use curry powder, bullion/maggi, or any spice/seasoning mix you choose to use. * Royco is basically seasoned cornstarch, so this recipe is not carb free, and I would advise using a different seasoning if you have a corn allergy or intolerance.
