Method
Boil the shredded greens in salted water for 10 minutes, drain hard and squeeze the water out of them
Cook the onion in the niter kibbeh for 8 minutes until soft
Add the garlic, ginger and chillies and cook 2 minutes
Add the greens and the water and cook 8 minutes, so they take up the fat
Off the heat, fold the ayib through so it stays in curds rather than melting into the greens
Serve warm

From the kitchen
Squeeze the greens properly. Water left in them dilutes everything and the dish ends up bland and loose
The ayib goes in off the heat and is not meant to melt. Curds that keep their shape are the point
This is not fasting food — the ayib is dairy. Leave it out and use oil instead of kibbeh and you have a fasting gomen
Fine shredding matters more than long cooking. Thick ribbons stay tough however long you give them
