The other night I had an absolute craving for Silverbeet.
It may have been my body telling me I needed iron and salt after playing football that day. It could have been my mind reminiscing about my childhood.
Luckily I have these amazing rainbow coloured "beets" growing in abundance in my garden.
This one reminded me of an Oompa Loompa! |
I simply cut off the stalks (even though they are so pretty!) and then roll them up into a bunch and slice them in rounds. Then into a pot they go with a bit of water and some salt to cook.
The best bit however is the water left after cooking them (something my Mum gave me as a child). In this case it was a beautiful warm maroon colour. I simply added a bit of salt and pepper and had the most wonderful nutritious drink with my dinner that more than satisfied my craving!
