Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Cavalo Nero that's who!



I was looking for some super veg to accompany my chicken snags for dinner tonight and I've been wanting to cook with this leafy green for ages but just haven't gotten round to it, til now.

I bought loose leaves yesterday at my greengrocer of choice, Fratelli Fresh, Waterloo, and following some advice from a Sicilian cooking blog, tossed it into a pan with some finely sliced garlic and shallots, olive oil, salt and pepper. Wow, what a great veg! Really delish and supposedly incredibly good for you. I also threw in some divine sweet carrots and then blanched some super fresh asparagus serving it with shaving of parmegiano reggiano, olive oil and pepper. YUM.
