For a richer flavor, toast the spices in a dry pan for a minute before adding them to the stew. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red chile flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have collard greens, spinach or kale can be used as a substitute. To make this stew on the stovetop, simmer all ingredients in a large pot for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
