Sauteed Silverbeet
Prep 5 minutes
Cooking 5 minutes
Total 10 minutes
Makes 2 Portionen

Ingredients
 

  • 2 big leaves of silverbeet with stems (or 4 small ones)
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion optional
  • 2 garlic cloves optional

Instructions
 

  • Slice the stem into 0.5 cm / ¼ inch thick slices and put them aside. Slice the leaves into 1.5cm / ½ inch thick strips and then cut them lengthwise a few times to shorten them.
  • Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add stems first (optional: chopped onion and/or garlic) and saute for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Then, add the leaves and only fry for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt & pepper.

Notes

  • Some people also peel the stems before cooking because they can be a bit stalky.
  • In order to get the most benefits from this yummy veggie, you cook the stems and leaves separately. The leaves don’t need as long to cook as the stems. Plus, if you keep your cooking time minimal, you won’t destroy as many vital vitamins and minerals.
