A way to eat silverbeet. I've never liked silverbeet but I'm aware of the massive health benefits of eating the dreaded weed. I generally manage to choke down some steamed stuff every month or so but now it could become a weekly habit, thanks to the lovely Ian Parmenter. I can't find his recipe on the web, and I tweeked it a bit anyway so, here's my version.
You will need
1 large bunch of silverbeet - removed from stalks, steamed, drained and chopped fine
2 large or 3 small eggs
1/2 a cup of breadcrumbs
4 or 5 anchovies, chopped fine, minced even
1/4 cup of milk
Pepper to taste
Mix everything up, pop into a low baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes in a 200 degree oven. It should puff up a bit, go crispy on top and taste mighty fine.
Hey Mum, finally something to do with all the silverbeet Dad grows!

Silverbeet fritata:
. 5 or so largish leaves of silverbeet - stems & leaves separated and chopped
. 2 Tsp baby salted capers
. 100-150g goats cheese (or feta)
. 6 eggs
. 2-3 cloves garlic - crushed
. 1-2 Tbl olive oil
. salt / pepper
. red onion - very thinly sliced
-----------------------
. in a large fry pan (oven safe) frypan)... heat to med heat
. add olive oil - - once oil is hot
. fry garlic / & chopped silverbeat stems - do not colour garlic
. add in red onion slices ... fry off for a few minutes - until starting to soften
. add in silverbeet leaves - & maybe a tiny bit of water to help with steaming of leaves.
. stir / mix constantly .. should maybe take 2-6 minutes - until leaves are just wilted (but not a soggy mush)
. now sprinkle baby capers over the top
. in a bowl - whisk the 6 eggs together & season with some salt & freshly cracked black pepper
. pre-heat the oven grill to medium - hot heat
. with the heat of the frypan / saucepan still on approx medium - pour in the beaten egg mixture
. do not stir - you should be able to see the silverbeet mix through it
. leave on stove top for approx 10-15 minutes - keeping an eye on it .. until the eggs are set (but not overly cooked) through to the top
. once egg mix is mostly set - sprikle over crumbled goats cheese (or feta)
. now - put frypan under hot griller - for approx 2-5 minutes
(keep an eye on it) - until cheese is golden
. Take out of oven - and leave to cool slightly - eat fritata 'warm' or 'cold' .. not overly hot.
will keep in fridge for approx 1-2 days.
