Instructions

  1. Strip the thick centre stems from the 250 g of collard greens. Stack the leaves a few at a time, roll them into a tight cigar and slice across into fine ribbons about 3 mm wide. Wash the shreds in plenty of cold water, then drain and shake dry.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a sufuria or heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 small of finely chopped onion with a pinch of the salt and fry 4 minutes, stirring, until softened and just turning golden at the edges.
  3. Stir in 1 medium of chopped tomato and 1 finely chopped green chilli. Cook 4 minutes over medium heat, pressing the tomato with the spoon, until it collapses into a thick pulp and the oil separates a little at the sides.
