“Morogo will always be my favourite thing to eat. Preparing the leaves simply with tomatoes and onions allows the fresh earthiness of the greens to shine, giving you a satisfying plate of vegetables to eat alone or next to some steamy hot pap. Use spinach or kale if you can’t get your hands on sweet potato leaves.” – Khanya Mzongwana
