Caldo verde, made with lamb's quarters.
"Caldo verde" is a Goan, Portuguese-influenced dish, which calls for kale along with the potatoes, but here we substituted lamb's quarters instead. You basically simmer the vegetables together for a long time and then puree - the only seasoning is onion and a huge amount of garlic. It had a very thick, viscous texture because of the starch of the new potatoes.
We also made fresh roti - an unleavened flat bread, cooked on a cast-iron skillet - as an accompaniment.
