Ingredients (quantities can vary according to taste)
7 or 8 Potatoes (medium sized)
Spinach or fresh green leaves (use twice as much greens as potatoes)
1 or 2 Bell peppers (red and yellow)
3 or 4 Onions (small)
2 or 3 Garlic cloves
3 or 4 Carrots
Sweet-corn
Olive Oil
Sea-salt
Chilli-powder
Method
Roughly chop the onions, garlic, and bell pepper, and leave to one side.
Cut the potatoes, unpeeled, into small bite-size chunks.
Boil the potatoes in salt-water until they are just cooked. Drain, and leave to one side.
Slice the carrots and lightly boil them with the sweet-corn, maintaining their crispness. Drain, and leave to one side.
Fry the onions on a high heat (only for a minute or two) in olive oil and add the garlic.
Add a little salt and chilli-powder, then add the bell peppers, and lastly add the spinach or green leaves.
Mix continuously to avoid burning, and take off from the heat as soon as the spinach begins to shrink.
Take all the prepared ingredients and mix everything together in a large pot or bowl.
Enjoy!
Note:
Depending on the potatoes used, the dish can become mushy when mixed together but it still tastes delicious and is like a savoury porridge. Do not over-cook the ingredients as they still cook slightly in their heat when they are removed from the cooker.
All the ingredients together create a lovely mix of flavours and textures.
