Wash the collard greens thoroughly and remove the tough stems. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 2
Finely chop the red onion. Mince the garlic.
- Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Step 5

- Step 8
Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the greens are tender but still vibrant green. Stir occasionally.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Step 10
While the greens are cooking, prepare the ugali: Bring 500ml of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Step 11
Gradually whisk in the maize meal, a little at a time, until all the meal is incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Step 12
Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for 5-10 minutes, until the ugali is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Step 13
Serve the Sukuma Wiki hot alongside the freshly made Ugali.
