After years of boiling in enough water to leech out all the goodness I decided to try something else. If only i had googled for tips earlier I might have discovered how yummy this veggie can be.
For simple and delicious enhancement - saute in a little butter with onion and ham or bacon.
No doubt many of you wise people already knew this. Just sharing with those people who don't know better. :)

I think I could get into that. Thanks.
I've just become a silverbeet gardener - don't have the time, space or inclination to grow much else. It's so easy to grow and so full of goodness - a pity it shrivels up to almost nothing which is probably why I decided to try to grow my own - I hated paying for it.

Have bumped it, but just on the left in the box headed message board, in keyword or member type silverbeet and then in the date posted click on the little arrow on the right and then last year then click search, loads of recipes.

Nope, disguising it with bacon or onion doesn't help. It's like brussels sprouts with icing sugar on top - still disgusting. You either like something or you don't.

this is the recipe I made " Had this at a steak house not long ago, was so nice I begged the chef for the recipe
Take a bunch of silver beet, yes silver beet, wash well and strip the leaves from the stems. Slice it VERY finely. take 1 orange and finely grate the rind into the silverbeet,chop orange in half then squeeze the juice of one half on top.Chop the other half into bite size pieces and add to silverbeet as well . Add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of any vinagrette dressing and toss lightly.Our choice is chilli and lime
This is you basic recipe. To this I had chopped tomato, avacado, fetta, any thing you like in the salad line. I am not a great fan of cooked silverbeet but this is soooo yummy it is now a family favourite. Will never bother with lettuce again. And it looks so pretty on the plate
