Sukuma Wiki is a rustic African dish which is enjoyed in many parts of East Africa. This entrée is easy to make, low budget and goes along with variety of meals. This recipe can include lean fish or chicken or beef. However, I have made it vegan. I like this dish because the tomatoes and garlic in recipe mask the flavor of collard greens. This recipe will serve 6 people.
