Quick & Easy Covo Recipe | Perfect Side Dish for Sadza!
Recipe Information
Covo
Cultural Context
Covo, a traditional Zimbabwean dish, is often made with leafy greens, particularly from the covo plant, which is a staple in local cuisine. This dish is celebrated for its simplicity and nutritional value, often enjoyed alongside sadza, a maize porridge. In modern times, covo has seen variations with different greens and spices, reflecting the adaptability of Zimbabwean cooking.
covo leaves
🥗Healthier: spinach
💰Cheaper: kale
Spinach is widely available and offers similar nutritional benefits.
vegetable oil
🥗Healthier: olive oil
💰Cheaper: canola oil
Olive oil provides healthier fats while canola is often less expensive.
Heat oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 1 minute until translucent.
Stir in the chopped tomato and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to soften.
Season with chicken seasoning, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the thinly sliced covo and stir. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the covo is tender but still vibrant green.
Sprinkle chilli flakes to your desired spice level and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and serve hot with sadza.
