Sukuma wiki sometimes includes chopped cooked meat, be it beef, chicken, goat, or fish, though this is not traditional. This dish is traditionally served with Ugali and sometimes rice.

Made this about a week ago without any meat. This is very simple and incredibly good. I initially had questions about whether the collards really only needed to cook for ~5 minutes, but it really does work out. They have a very nice chew to them, and unlike other experiences with collards that instruct very long (~45 minute) cook times, I didn't notice any bitterness at all. This will definitely become a regular part of our rotation.
