Wirsing sauteed in sesame seeds

    Wirsing comes from the cabbage family and is a new vegetable in my kitchen.It looked so fresh in the supermarket that I could not resist picking it up.The leaves look like crumpled cabbage leaves,very crisp and softer and cook pretty quickly. I tried this and it turned out like a good warm salad and the smell of sesame and curry makes it very appetizing.
