Many people (like us) will tell you that eating delicious food is one of the best parts of Disney World, and with so many restaurants to visit, you might not have gotten the chance to try it all! Or maybe you are just feeling a little nostalgic and wanting to cook up a Disney-inspired recipe at home!
Well, we’ve got you covered! Disney is helping us make a dish straight from a popular Disney World restaurant, right in our own kitchens, with a recipe from Sanaa in honor of the Cooking with Soul campaign for Black History Month. Check it out!
Chef Sahib Bhatti, who has worked at numerous locations on Disney property, shared one of his favorite dishes served at Sanaa, located at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort.
Sanaa is an African and Indian-style restaurant that boasts exotic flavors and popular dishes such as the famous Indian-Style Bread Service. YUUUUM.
Today, we are sharing Chef Sahib’s recipe for Sukuma Wiki, which is a popular East African dish prepared with onions, garlic, spices, and sukuma, also known as collard greens. This dish is typically served with fresh fish on a bed of fresh yellow rice as a dish at Sanaa.
Fun fact: did you know that Sukuma Wiki translates from Swahili to “stretch the week”? You learn something new every day!
Now let’s make Sukuma Wiki!
Note that this recipe serves 4-6
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 cup diced yellow onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 pound collard greens, washed and chopped
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper, plus more, to taste
Directions:
