Short description: This everyday plate pairs a firm maize staple with greens cooked down until savory and soft.
Ingredients: Stiff maize porridge served with sauteed collard greens or kale, onion, tomato, oil, and salt.
Cultural note: The pairing is valued because it is affordable, filling, and adaptable; meat, beans, or relish can join it when available.
Common misconception: The greens are not just garnish; they are the main partner to the maize staple on this plate.
