What we have today? Well, today I am gonna share one of my favorites veggies; it is kale! And recently I created a new dish that unusual. What is that? Cooking kale sounds common, right? But, what if we add anchovy, are they blending well? Good news for you, yes it is!

Going back many years ago, I used to eat cassava leaves. If you buy my book then you had already known that I was born and grow up in a small village with abundant veggies and fruit around me. My father planted fruit trees, vegetables, and also flowers. I remember that my father's house looked like a flower park but at the same time, it was also a cassava field. He loved flowers! One of the edible leaves that we ate at the time was cassava leaves. Yes, my father grew our own food. So, why I am telling you this story? Because cassava leaves and kale have the same texture and almost the taste.

If we are talking about kale; it is an uncommon vegetable from my hometown. After moved to Singapore then I knew vegetable that called "kale".  Kale is an expensive vegetable in Singapore; the price is $6. I would rather buy red spinach that only costs around $1. Yet, I like to buy kale sometimes. Why? Because it reminds me of the taste of cassava leaves. You guess... Yes, we can't find cassava leaves here in Singapore. 

Well, enough talking about the story, time to share the recipe! It is simple, easy, yet tasty. Let's rock!

Ingredient:
  • 4 cloves of garlic - chop them
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • 2-3 leaves of kale - cut them
  • a handful of anchovy 
These are what you do:
  • Prepare the pan, pour olive oil, add garlic that you chop. Turn on the stove on medium-low flame. Saute for about 2 minutes
