A delicious and nourishing recipe for you to try.

Ingredients:

  • Two large potatoes
  • One cup of steamed broccoli
  • Six large kale leaves
  • 2–3 tablespoons cheddar cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 100ml milk

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 220 degrees C.
  • Wash the spuds and pierce them with a fork.
  • Place them on a baking tray and cook for about 50-60 minutes until tender, then remove them from the oven.
  • As the spuds are baking, get started on the kale leaves. Wash them and remove the stems. Chop up the leaves.
  • Cook in a pot of rapidly boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and run under cold water to stop cooking process. When done, put it to one side.
  • Slice potatoes lengthwise, and scoop the insides out into a blender, leaving a good 1/4 inch of potato flesh still attached to the potato skin (otherwise, your potato might fall apart) – If you don’t have a blender, you can mash it up with a fork.
  • Add the broccoli, kale, and milk to the blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Scoop the pureed broccoli-kale-potato mixture back into the potato skins. Sprinkle with the grated cheddar cheese, return to the baking sheet, and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Cook until the cheese turns a golden brown and then get it down your neck.
