Best way to cook cleome gynandra (nyevhe/runi)

I had a wonderful time during the just ended Easter holidays. We went to celebrate Easter in the village, we had an opportunity to eat a lot of traditional meals. Out of all the meals that came my way , I enjoyed Sadza with nyeve mixed with tsunga ( African mustards). I had never tasted the beauty of African vegetables since I was born.

The meal was mouth watering, that is why I am sharing the recipe.
