Instructions

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Sauté until onions are translucent and vegetables are tender.
3. Add the chopped kale to the pan with the other vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the kale has wilted down.
4. Stir in the vegetable broth, seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Allow the stir fry to simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. e) Meanwhile, form the ugali dough into individual portions and place them onto a serving dish. Drizzle with the remaining coconut oil and serve alongside the sukuma wiki stir fry.

Chef’s Insight

To achieve the perfect mouthfeel, ensure the ugali is not too thick or crumbly, and the sukuma wiki stir fry has a balanced mixture of vegetables and liquid.
