Silverbeet Recipes
« on: December 05, 2013, 08:45:21 am »
A friend gave me a huge bunch of silverbeet and spring onions today.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to cook with them. Thanks.

Some ideas here Margaret.  I love my spinach (silverbeet) and rice pie. You can always just steam it, chop it up and freeze it in 250g packs for later later if you begin to get silverbeeted out  ;).

Many years ago this silverbeet salad was in one of the newspapers here in WA and was enjoyed by family and friends.

5 large silverbeet leaves, de-stalk, wash and spin dry
1 medium carrot, grated
1 medium pear (or apple), chopped or cubed (sprinkle with lemon)
1 cup bean shoots
1 cup sultanas or craisens
1/3 cup French dressing
sprinkling of sesame seeds

Chop or pull apart silverbeet leaves into large bowl.
Add carrot, bean shoots, sultanas, pear and toss to mix.
Add dressing to coat and sprinkle with seeds.

Enjoy
