1/2 tablespoon of minced ginger
1 tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter
250 ml of cream

Risudza is the Llogoli time period for what’s extra generally often known as Managu. This can be very widespread within the Western elements of the nation however is quick gaining reputation in different areas. It’s full flavored and takes on the notes of different greens so effectively. It’s wealthy in iron, B nutritional vitamins, folic acid, calcium and permits for correct regulation of blood sugars.
In Nairobi, I buy mine from Naivas. A bunch goes for 33 bob (costs for early 2023 ), which is extraordinarily reasonably priced. For this recipe, I used two bunches.
Separate the leaves from the stalk. The leaves are large and the plucking is easy. It isn’t as tedious because the tiny leaves of mitoo or terere. Some individuals are eager on eradicating the entire stalk, however I don’t thoughts leaving some stalk in as they soften with out a drawback and your physique enormously advantages from the additional roughage.
A little bit of the stalk for this vegetable is ok however for greens such at mitoo, your complete stalk must be eliminated.
Proceed to blanch them till simply softened and brilliant inexperienced. We blanch them in some water in addition to a splash of Munyu Mushereka. Munyu Mushereka is a pure salt and tenderizer derived from the ash of dried bean pods/ matoke peels. It’s optionally available to make use of, nevertheless extremely inspired. We make ours at house however you should buy your Munyu from Kienyeji Retailer.

Like all greens, they enormously shrink down. Out of two full bunches, the outcome was this little bowl.
With this accomplished, we proceed to prepare dinner.
In your sufuria, add some oil and a few salt. Cook dinner the 2 onions and the ginger till softened and aromatic. Add within the tomatoes and prepare dinner till tender.
Add within the blanched risudza and blend in. Watch out to not prepare dinner it for too lengthy.

Along with the well being advantages of risudza that we’ve already mentioned, including some cream will increase the amount of calcium and the peanut butter introduces important fat into your physique.
Enable this to simmer on low warmth for about 10-Quarter-hour after which serve.
