Collard greens or pumpkin leaves simmered in a rich peanut butter sauce with tomatoes and onions, a staple vegetable dish across Zimbabwe.

Ingredients

1 Heat oil in a pot, sauté onions until translucent, about five minutes.
2 Add chopped tomatoes and cook until softened and saucy, roughly four minutes.
3 Stir peanut butter into the tomato mixture with one cup water until smooth.
4 Add greens, stir well, cover, and simmer on low for fifteen minutes until tender.
5 Season with salt and stir gently. The sauce should coat the greens thickly.
