- Add the chopped spinach and kale to the pan and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the greens are wilted.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of vegetable broth and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt to taste.
- Once the fufu mixture is smooth and thick, gradually incorporate the cooked vegetable mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Remove the pot from the heat and allow the fufu to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the spinach and kale vegetable fufu warm, alongside your favorite African stew or soup.
