Silverbeet glut
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | My silverbeets are taking over my garden. I make silverbeet soup in winter which is why I planted them. I have just seen recipe for silverbeet rolls which I will try out for dinner one night this week. Any thing else I can do with them? As they are free in my garden I do want to use them up but also reading up on it, it does have good nutrition. marcs - 2019-03-31 10:23:00 |

| 6 | Silverbeet is known as Swiss Chard in Europe, so you could look it up under that name. Here's an Italian way of preparing it. Sicilian Swiss Chard and Ricotta (Locatelli) serves 4 2 tab olive oil Heat oven to 180 C. Oil a baking dish. Peel off stringy outside of chard, blanch in salted water 5 minutes, drain well. Combine ricotta, salt, pepper and eggs in a large bowl. Heat oil in a pan, add chard, cook until stalks are golden and the leaves completely wilted. Combine with ricotta. Transfer to baking dish, bake for 10 minutes until firmed up. davidt4 - 2019-03-31 10:47:00 |

| 11 | cook a huge bunch of silverbeet including the stalks in the bottom of a pot with a little bit of water & salt. drain and cool for a little bit, throw in as much chopped garlic as you want, 1 egg and a tin of creamed corn. mix well and put in a buttered dish, put grated cheese on top, and tomato if you want, cook in the oven until golden on top, about 40 minutes, easy with a roast, and you can use as much silverbeet as you want. No idea what its called, my husband insists his mother used to make it, she says she didnt, but everyone likes it. articferrit - 2019-03-31 18:05:00 |

| 17 | I don't want to give them away. I want to know what other things I can make with it to feed my family. I made the silverbeet rolls just like you make cabbage rolls. I cooked the rolls in chicken stock. It is nice high protein snack. I made it with pork mince 500g, 1 very large spring onion, 1/4 cup washed uncooked rice, ginger, 1 tbs soy sauce, Sesame oil and little salt. Remove stems. Blanch the silverbeet. Roll little amounts of pork mix in blanched siverbeet leaves. Put some stems down on the a pot. I covered the stem with left over sliverbeet leaves. Layer the rolls over the silverbeet, pour 1 liter of chicken stock (almost covering the rolls) bring to a boil and gently simmer for 1/2 an hour. The stems and leaves and stock are all edible. marcs - 2019-04-01 23:51:00 |
| 18 | I have made this recipe once a week for the last couple of years. Uses up loads of lovely silverbeet, and is really simple to make. When I have a glut of silverbeet I do step 1 and 2, and freeze it for another curry, another day... https://importedkiwi.wordpress.com/2012/06/29/frugal-saag-cu mjhdeal - 2019-04-02 07:03:00 |
| 19 | Don't throw away the stems, loads of goodness in them. A nice way of cooking the stems is making a curry batter and frying them. jan2242 - 2019-04-03 08:51:00 |
| 20 | Boil or steam stems until tender then season with butter, salt and pepper - yum! bisloy - 2019-04-04 18:37:00 |
