Ingredients
- 1 kg floury potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 8 cups water
- 1½ tsp salt
- 300 g kale or collard greens, very finely shredded
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Method
- Cook the onion and garlic in 2 tbsp oil until soft. Add the potatoes, water and salt and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Mash or blend the potatoes into the liquid until smooth.
- Add the kale and simmer for 5 minutes, until bright green and tender.
- Warm the remaining oil with the smoked paprika and drizzle it over each bowl.
Gluten-free check: The classic version adds slices of chouriço. Processed sausages often contain wheat, so we use smoked paprika instead; if you add sausage, choose one labelled gluten-free.
