Ingredients
- 4 Potatoes floury, peeled and diced
- 1 large Onion peeled and finely sliced
- 450 g Spring Greens or Curly Kale cut finely
- Salt and Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions
- Put 1 litres of water (the original recipe suggests Spring Water, but I used tap) in a large pan, with the diced potatoes and sliced onions, bring up to the boil and then add plenty of salt.
- Turn down to a brisk simmer and cook until the potatoes are totally tender. Mash some of the potatoes into the broth to thicken it, add some salt and pepper and the olive oil.
- Bring up to the boil again and add the finely chopped Brassica. Rapidly boil for about 4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and taste once more for seasoning. Serve, steaming hot, in large bowls with some bread and pepper sauce.
