Ingredients:

Serving

30 large leaves greens, chopped and boiled (chicasquil, chaya or other green leaf)
1 1/2 cups egg noodles boiled in the leaf water
1 lb ground meat, browned but not drained
1 large onion, chopped
12 oz tomatoes, diced ( canned tomato and chilies ok)
2 oz green chilies, diced
4 oz tomato sauce
garlic, minced to taste
salt

Directions:

Sautee onions and garlic, then add and brown meat. Set on warmer. Cut Chicasquil leaves into about 1 pieces or chop, discarding the stems and heavy veins, then boil *15* minutes, stirring frequently. Drain and reserve water.
Cook noodles in Chaya water and drain. Add tomato, chilies and Chaya leaves to onion/meat mixture - heat and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in egg noodles and simmer 3 minutes more. Serves 4.
NOTE: Please observe 15 minute boiling time. This allows all the Hydrocyanic Acid to be driven off as steam. A 1 minute cooking time, seen elsewhere in this blog, is insufficient to accomplish this - undercooked Chicasquil or Chaya may cause nausea and vomiting.
