Remove the thick ribs from the collard greens and slice the leaves into thin strips.
Slice the onion into half moons, dice the tomatoes, and finely chop the garlic.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wide pan and saute the onion for 4 minutes, until softened.
Add the garlic and tomatoes, and cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes release their juices.
Add the collard greens, salt, and black pepper to the pan, and toss with tongs.
Saute the leaves for 7 minutes, keeping them bright green.
Take off the heat, rest for 2 minutes, and serve without leaving the juices behind in the pan.
💡 Tip: Slice the leaves into thin strips, but do not keep them in the pan for more than 10 minutes; the color darkens and the fresh green flavor disappears.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve sukuma wiki like a vegetable main dish with optional ugali, boiled potatoes, or yogurt cacik.
