Waiting for a cook
Liberia
Potato greens is the Liberian stew of chopped sweet potato leaves cooked down with meat, smoked or dried fish, onion and hot pepper until the water has gone, then finished with oil, red palm oil in the country version, vegetable oil in the lighter one. It is eaten over rice and is one of the three or four "soups" every Liberian household cooks in rotation with cassava leaf, palava sauce and torborgee. Only sweet potato leaves are used; the leaves of the ordinary potato are poisonous.
The draft was written from 4 published sources and holds 10 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
