Silverbeet surprise

The surprise in silverbeet surprise is that it tastes delicious. Nothing like the soggy silverbeet you remember as a child! Cooked with onion, garlic, currants and pistachios this tastes great on its own or alongside your favourite cut of steak.

Ingredients

  • 1 silverbeet

    (12 leaves and stems)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 onion

    chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic

    finely chopped

  • 1 cup currants

  • 1 cup pistachios

Equipment

Instructions

  1. Cut stems from leaves. Wash stems and slice into 5mm strips.
  2. Wash leaves (very well), roll up and slice 1cm thick.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frypan and sauté onion and stems for 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and sauté for another two minutes.
  5. Add silver beet leaves and remaining oil, stir well to coat in onion mixture.
  6. Cover for a few minutes until leaves soften, then add currants and nuts.
  7. Stir gently until well combined.
