Some ingredients choose you. 💚
We spotted this beautiful bunch of kale at Hometown Market yesterday and immediately knew it was coming home with us.
Today, it became Sukuma Wiki, one of East Africa’s most beloved vegetable dishes. The name literally means “stretch the week” in Kiswahili because it’s an affordable, nourishing side that’s enjoyed alongside staples like ugali, rice, or chapati. Every family has their own way of making it, but today’s starts with fresh greens, onion, carrot, and a whole lot of love.
A huge thank you to our friends at Healing Poem Farm | Ecological Produce & WNY CSA for growing such gorgeous kale. 🌱 We love being able to celebrate Tanzanian flavors while supporting fellow local producers here in Western New York.
Food has a beautiful way of connecting communities, from your farm to our kitchen to your table.
Asante Sana 🇹🇿 ❤️
