Sukumawiki

Literally translated, this Kiswahili word means "to push you through the week". This dish is common throughout Kenya. It is traditionally served with "ugali" which is made by mixing cornmeal into boiling water, forming a paste thicker than mashed potatoes. American cornmeal doesn't seem to be quite right, but after so many years, I don't notice the difference as much.

Saute in oil or butter:
1 tomato
1 onion

Add:
a bunch of chopped greens (spinach is okay, but I prefer the crisper texture of something like cabbage or kale)
1/2 cube bullion, or some salt for a bit more flavor
