Ingredients:

120ml red palm oil
2 bunches sweet potato leaves (or collared greens), finely chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
salt, to taste
pimenton, to taste
3 heaped tsp dried fish, flaked or pounded
1 Maggi cube
2 Scotch bonnet chillies

Method:

Heat the palm oil in a pot until just before the point where it begins to smoke. Add the onions and fry until translucent. Add the leaves to the pot a handful at a time, allowing them to wilt before adding the next handful. Add just enough water to cover the leaves by about 4cm then add the pimento and whole chillies and bring to a rolling boil.

Now add the fish and stir-in. Add all the remaining ingredients and boil until no water is left on the surface of the dish. Make sure you stir frequently towards the end.

Serve on a bed of rice.
