Method
- Steam the kale for 5–10 minutes, until wilted. Remove from the heat and set aside until needed.
- Melt the spread in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leek and cook for 5–6 minutes, until softened and starting to turn golden brown.
- Add the leek, drained kale and sweet potato to the mashed root vegetables, then season with black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
