“This beautifully simple dish is a direct reflection of who I am and where I’ve come from,” says chef Kylie Kwong. “It’s also my favourite dish. It celebrates the diversity and beauty of native Australian plants and is incredibly wholesome. Use a mixture of greens depending on what’s available. Seek these beauties out at growers markets and specialist greengrocers – the more we ask for them, the more available they’ll become.”
