It's the season for lovely greens like silver beet, beet greens and kale. If you have an abundance of these then try these delicious recipes. From the hearty Erbazzone Silverbeet Pie, a rustic Italian favourite, to a colorful Kale and Sweet Potato Salad inspired by Hawaii, these dishes make the most of seasonal produce. Whether you’re in the mood for a savory Ossetian Cheese Pie, a comforting Mushroom & Silverbeet Lasagna, or a delicious Beet Green Quiche, these recipes are packed with nutritious greens!
This Erbazzone or Silverbeet Pie, is a delightful example of Cucina Povera from Italy's Reggio Emilia province. Traditionally made to utilise seasonal silverbeet and chard, this pie makes the most of the entire bunch, stems included. With simple, easy-to-find ingredients, it delivers a taste that will win over any fan of spinach pies - or anyone who loves a good, savoury pie!
This kale and sweet potato salad is one of the best things I've eaten in Hawaii and it all came from a humble supermarket salad bar. But seriously, there's no other salad quite like this gorgeous sweet potato and kale salad and I make this every year for Christmas it's that good!
The Ossetian Cheese Pie, a traditional dish from Georgia's Caucasus region, is a stuffed pie with various fillings. This version is packed with beet greens and a blend of cheeses and is a wonderful lunch or dinner!
This mushroom and silverbeet lasagne is seriously my favourite lasagne! This vegetarian lasagna is easy to make yet packed with comforting flavours that hit the spot every time.
Think twice before discarding those beet greens - they’re a great alternative to spinach in many dishes! These dark leafy greens have a subtle flavour and are packed with vitamins and have more iron than spinach. They work wonderfully in a quiche and are especially tasty in this filo pie brimming with beet greens, feta and bacon!
So tell me Dear Reader, which springtime greens are your favourite?
