Main ingredient: vegetable oil

Serving count not stated for this recipe, so quantities are shown as written.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 lb kale (or collard greens), stems removed and leaves shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup double (heavy) cream

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large wide pan or pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring, until soft and starting to color at the edges.
  2. Add the chopped tomatoes with the salt and pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until they soften and form a rough sauce.
  3. Add the shredded kale a handful at a time, stirring each addition until it wilts down before adding more.
  4. Cover and cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the greens are tender but still green. If the pan is dry, add a splash of water.
  5. Pour in the cream, stir through, and simmer uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes until the cream thickens slightly and coats the greens.
  6. Taste and adjust the salt, then serve hot as a side, traditionally with ugali.
