Directions:
- Wash the silverbeet thoroughly and trim the stalks, or wash thoroughly the spinach or baby spinach leaves. Baby spinach leaves are so tender that I always leaves the stalks intact.
- Bring water to the boil in a medium size saucepan, add a pinch of salt to taste and cook the silverbeet - or spinach - until the leaves have just wilted.
- Drain the silverbeet - or spinach - in a colander, squeeze out as much moisture as possible, pat dry with kitchen paper, and then squeeze again.
- When you are satisfied that the silverbeet - or spinach - is free of moisture, chop it finely and put aside.
- Sauté the onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, until soft but not brown. Put aside to cool.
- Mash the ricotta with a fork and whisk well.
- Add the cooled onion and garlic and chopped silverbeet - or spinach.
- Add the finely chopped tarragon.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Add the Parmesan and gently fold in all the ingredients.
- Lightly grease a 9 springform pan with the remaining olive oil.
- Transfer the mixture to the pan, and bake in a moderate oven for 50 minutes, or until cooked. The torte will cook like a cake, rising and pulling away from the edges of the pan once it is cooked.
- Remove the torte from the oven and leave to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Release the torte from the springform pan and cut into wedges to serve.
- Variations: Use a mixture of greens: spinach, silverbeet and endive. Use a mixture of ricotta and feta.
- Chef's Note: Cooking time includes cooling time.
