My allotment was bursting with my favourite vegetable last season, Silverbeet (or chard), so I blanched the excess and popped them into the freezer. Just a few portions left which I need to use up and this is what Google suggested from taste, my usual go-to website.
Silverbeet and potato gratin
Click on the link for the recipe and this is what it should look like.
So I set to work in the kitchen, using my favourite old-fashioned pie dish. The fine grated cheese on the top is a piece of parmesan that I wanted to use up so I put it through the food processor (lazy me) and out came these lovely fine shreds of tasty cheese.
Baked for 50 minutes and out came my delicious dinner. Just added a side salad made from the gleanings over at the allotment.
NOTE: I used half the recipe so I don’t have to eat it for the next 3 days. The parmesan on the top layer of thinly sliced potato – immediate potato chips, crunchy and delicious.
Happy Gardening (and cooking) !

Oh yum Jean, this is one of my favourite ways with silverbeet. A couple of my plants are still hanging on 🙂
