The leafy green garden beds have been overflowing with rainbow chard and English spinach, and I have been trying to find different ways to use (a lot of) this in the kitchen.
I came across a great recipe that, thankfully, called for 750g of greens. With the addition of some cheese and a bit of fillo pastry I was pretty sure the kiddoes would get into it without the fear of it being 'poison'.
After an hour in the oven, this dish, along with the addition of a couple of salads covered just about every colour of the rainbow.
I think a thick, legumey, tomatoey soup might make its way to the table by the weekend as I know I will be able to add quite a lot of spinach and chard at the end. I might even have another go at soda bread.
How do you use your leafy greens?
Take care
We love spinach lightly sautéed in butter with a pinch of salt! Your rainbow chard is a thing of beauty... still waiting for our spinach over here!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious.
DeleteI originally planted extra because the chickens were loving it. They now seem to be getting a little fussier and some days love it, some days not so much. We have had a pretty mild winter so with the rain, it is coming along beautifully.
Salads! I love salads. The recipe looks delicious. I will surely thy this. Cool.

I am looking forward to some summery salads in the next few months.
DeleteYum
I love greens stir fried with a garlic and chilli, it's just fabulous using spinach, silverbeet, kale or collards...
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious. I must get around to stir-frying more.
