Morogo

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

“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

Ingredients

4 T oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
400 g sweet potato leaves, thinly sliced
2 large tomatoes, diced
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a pan. Fry the onion over a medium heat until soft and translucent,
about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and fry for 5 minutes.

2. Add the sweet potato leaves and gently fry, stirring often. Once the greens have softened, add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes have softened. Serve hot.
