Sukuma Wiki (Collard Greens In Lemon Sauce) Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
2 lb collard greens
1 3/4 cup water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion -- chopped
2 medium plum tomatoes -- peel, seed,
1 chop
1 serrano chile -- seeded and
1 minced
2 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
Recipe
Preparation
In a large sink of lukewarm, agitate the collard greens well to
remove any hidden grit. Carefully lift the greens out of the water
and transfer them to a colander, leaving the grit on the bottom of
the sink. Repeat the
procedure in a sink of fresh water. Remove and discard the woody
stems. Stack the collard leaves a few at a time, and cut them
crosswise into 1/2-inch wide strips.
Bring 1 cup of the water to a boil in a large skillet. Add the collard
greens, cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the
greens are barely tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the greens well.
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and chile pepper and
cook over medium heat, stirring often, until softened, about 5
minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the
drained greens.
In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining 3/4 cup water with the lemon
juice, flour and salt until smooth. Stir this into the greens, reduce
the heat to low, and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce has
thickened and the flour flavor has cooked away, about 3 minutes.
Serve immediately.
"There are many ways of making this very simple dish," says Maggie
Marenga. "You can use just onions or just tomatoes. You can use heavy
cream or half-and-half instead of the water in the lemon sauce. It's
great with beef or chicken stew. Some people even put beef or
chicken in their Sukuma Wiki. In Kenya, it is eaten on an almost
daily basis."

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The argument against reduced carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Moreover, it has been proposed that the kidneys may be given too much work to do and that the resultant change in blood acid levels can result in the loss of bone, but some of the scientific studies trying to test the theory have struggled to find real evidence of deterioration of the kidneys or loss of bone.
Most of the undesirable side-effects claimed, like persistent tiredness, constipation, diarrhea, or headaches seem to pass quickly, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, turnip greens and tomato puree)
These colorful plants have high levels of carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by scientists to play a role in helping stop cancer, spefically cancer of the lungs. The majority of these are also low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss program.
