Meni Valle's tips
If you can’t find collard greens you can use kale, silverbeet (Swiss chard), English spinach or wild cabbage instead.
To grate a tomato, first cut it in half. Then, holding the skin side
in the palm of your hand, grate the tomato flesh into a large bowl.
Once you have grated all the tomatoes, add the sugar to maximise
the flavour, and a pinch of salt and the whole garlic clove. Allow the
tomato mixture to sit for a few minutes to develop the flavours.
