My recipe for salad or salad talbos ng kamote is so simple
yet tasty.
The ingredients:
1.
4 cups
potato leaves
2.
2 pcs of medium
size tomatoes cut into small cubes
3.
1 pc of onion cut into small cubes
4.
2 cloves of garlic cut into small cubes
5.
1 lemon
6.
½ tsp of vinegar
7.
7. Pinch of salt and ground pepper to taste
Preparation to cooking, I sprinkle baking soda all over the
potato leaves and let it sit for about 2mins before lightly scrubbing and
rinsing thoroughly. Cut the leaves from the stem of potato leaf .Then soak in
cold water for another 2mins.
In a bowl, mix the
cut tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Squeeze the lemon and add ½ tsp of vinegar.
Set aside, this will be the dressing.
Place water in a stock pot or a large. Add a pinch of salt
and ground pepper to the water and bring it to a rolling boil. Place the potato
leaves in a wire basket insert and immerse in boiling water. As soon as the
water starts to a boil, carefully remove the potato leaves using a pair of
tongs and place on a plate.
Top the drained leaves with the dressing. Toss lightly to
combine. Serve.
