Kenyan-Style Kale and Tomatoes

In Kenya, this dish is called sukuma wiki, named after the dark, leafy greens from which it's made.

Throughout the country, the popular dish is eaten without utensils, with chapati (a variety of flatbread) or ugali (a type of cornmeal mush) used to scoop up bites instead. This recipe was inspired by a Whole Planet Foundation microcredit client.
