I will try to tell you the verdolagas recipe, which is very beneficial for our health. If you want to prepare a verdolagas recipe for your baby, I recommend that you do not use rice due to constipation problems. You can also use minced meat if you want. If you add pumpkin to the water, it will be very nutritious for babies.
Prepared fresh or cooked, verdolagas are widely used in Latin American cuisine and go well with tomatoes, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, dill, corn, potatoes, pork and beef. Long cooking reduces the acidity of the verdolaga and brings out a subtle sweet flavor. The leaves are often added to omelettes, soups, stews and stir-fries. It can be used in place of spinach in salads, as its natural pungent flavor goes well with dressings that are sweet rather than sour or herbaceous.
