Equipment
- 1 knife
- 1 chopping board
- 1 saucepan or sufuria
- 1 Wooden Spoon
- Other equipment such as spoons and small bowls as needed to hold the other vegetables
Ingredients
- 2 bunches sweet potato greens
- 3 tbsps cooking oil
- 1 medium size chopped onion
- 2 medium size chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp finely grated garlic
- Salt to taste (About ½ tsp)
- Spices of choice (I use ½ teaspoon each of curry powder, paprika, and royco. You can use spices you like in your vegetables)
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the sweet potato leaves.
- Cut them loosely to make them easier to cook and eat.
- Heat the oil in a suitable saucepan or sufuria over medium heat. Don’t overheat the oil.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently until tender or until it’s just starting to have a touch of golden. Add the garlic.
- Stir continuously to a light golden color.
- Evenly stir in the tomatoes. Cover and lower the heat significantly for the tomatoes to cook for 2 or so minutes until tender.
- Stir the tomatoes. They’ll break down as you stir. You can even crash them further with your wooden spoon as you stir.
- Evenly stir in the salt and spices. Cover and let the onion, tomato, and spice mixture cook another 2 minutes on the same low heat.
- Add the vegetables. Stir so they can mix evenly with the onion and tomato mixture.
- Add about ¼ cup water (Or more if you want your vegetables more wet) and stir well.
- Cover and cook for a few minutes on medium low heat until the vegetables have wilted or reduced in size – about 5 minutes. Don’t overcook.
- Give them a final stir. Your greens are ready to serve.
- Enjoy as they are or with a meal of choice such as ugali, rice, or as a side dish.
- Enhance your hospitality for the glory of God.
