Chef tips
To ensure the kale or Swiss chard retains its vibrant green colour, add it to the pan only once the onions and tomatoes have completely softened into a rich, reduced sauce. To enhance the flavour, try adding half a teaspoon of cumin or turmeric with the tomatoes. Children will love helping to tear the leaves by hand; it's a simple task that makes them feel like real chefs.
