The run of my vegetable box inspired meals continues, with this dinner that was a recent favourite of mine.
Inspired by…
A gorgeous bunch of silverbeet.
Oddly enough, although I regularly cook with spinach, I had never tried silverbeet before. And all I can say is ‘wow’. I am impressed. So much so that I have already bought two more bunches since trying it for the first time.
Unlike spinach, it held together really well, and added quite a bit of bulk and texture to this salad - which in itself was super easy to put together.
Silverbeet leaves (that I had trimmed, washed and sliced), fresh corn, carrot and cannellini beans.
Sautéed in a little olive oil, with some sliced chorizo.
Piled high, topped with feta…
And this rather random, yet rather delicious salad, was complete.
The silverbeet soaked up all the lovely chorizo flavours, resulting in a spicy tasty salad.
Certainly not a boring salad by any means. And one I will definitely be making again. Particularly given it went from thought to plate in less than 10 minutes!
What about you? Are you a fan of silverbeet?
Are silverbeet and swiss chard the same? If it is swiss chard, I love it!
ReplyDelete"thought to plate in less than 10 minutes" - that's my kind of dinner! Looks delicious too.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, growing up we had silverbeet semi-regularly and spinach less often. In my adulthood I've reversed things so you've made me think I should give silverbeet another go!
ReplyDeleteSilverbeet is amazing at the markets at the moment, how can i resist! btw love the baby pics on instagram the other day, too cute and getting big :)
ReplyDeleteI hated silverbeet as a child but now enjoy it in stews and soups - it actually blends up into a nice smooth soup I think
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of silverbeet- soo good to know!
ReplyDeleteSure do! But we call is swiss chard over here. :) Regardless of the name, it's delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum that looks so healthy and delicious - I love warm salads especially in these colder months :)
