Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 pound chicken sausage (pre-cooked, sliced into 1-inch pieces)
1 yellow onion (large, thinly sliced)
3 clove garlic (minced)
0.5 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound collard greens (tough stems removed, chopped)
0.5 cup vegetable broth
0.5 teaspoon salt
2.5 cup water
1.5 cup white cornmeal

Instructions

In a large skillet or pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 pounds chicken sausage slices and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausages and set aside.
Add 1 large yellow onion and 1/2 red bell pepper to the same skillet, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add 1 pound chopped collard greens and 1/2 cup vegetable broth to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens wilt and are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Return the chicken sausages to the skillet and toss to combine.
While the sukuma wiki cooks, prepare the ugali: Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups white cornmeal, a little at a time, to prevent lumps. Continue stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon for 3-5 minutes until a thick, firm porridge forms that pulls away from the sides of the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it steam for 5 minutes.
Serve the Spicy Sukuma Wiki with Sausages immediately, alongside portions of the hot Quick Ugali.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken sausages and add a can of drained cannellini beans or chickpeas when adding the collard greens.
