My good friend Bev cooked this one day at a friends place. She had never been a spinach fan. Whole new way to look at the old silver beet which is a brother to the more insipid English spinach. Can be a breakfast dish with a few eggs, luncheon with a sprinkle of cheese, or side dish. Anything a little different is nice for a change :) Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh silver beet (spinach) |
1 medium onion |
garlic |
1/2 cup chopped bacon |
1/2 cup chopped red capsicum (optional) |
1 teaspoon curry powder, to taste |
Directions:
1. Shred the green leaves from the white stem, and wash both thoroughly, drain.
2. In a frypan with a little olive oil, fry some chopped onion, garlic and bacon (capsicum optional). When limp add a dash of pepper and curry powder.
3. Chop the stems and add them to the mix, cook a few minutes, stirring.
4. Add the shredded leaves and stir, cover and steam 2 mins, or until done the way you like it.
5. (There should be enough water on the leaves to steam effectively, but you can add some if you have too.).
