I have a large bunch of silverbeet, we are not fans, ideas please

[Halex]

Love bok choy, baby spinach, but silverbeet mmmm.....

Any suggestions, apart from leaving it in the fridge to die, good one Hally...now thats an option, avery attractive one but.....

I dont like waste, tonigh we had boky choy in garlic & soya sauce, so something different.
Maybe if thermie chops it up really small  it wont  look soooo.  ugly....what do you all think?

You could make healthy green smoothies

[Halex]

No we woudnt like them, looking at maybe type of pie or something.

Its just so ugly, it pops out at  me in the fridge, i am sure it knows we are not fans. Its waiting to go " bite me if yiu dare" lol

It came as part if my veg delivery.

Send it to me Hally - I love it.  Blanch it and freeze it if you don't know what to do with it just now otherwise it will wilt and you'll throw it out.
Try my Rice & spinach pie - leftovers freeze well too.
Spinach, chickpea & feta tart.
Spinach & ricotta cannelloni.

Plenty of things to do with a bunch of spinach. I had the one CC posted on this list too but she got in first 

[Halex]

PERFCT CC, I have  all  the ingredients too. Yay

Thanks to JD to for the recipe.

You could try Caroline W's Sakuma Wiki - I have made this quite often and like it.  It is possible to add left over meat, or anything else for that matter, to it to suit your taste.

I often make spinach and ricotta crepes or pasta shells, kids love eating shells.

Hally, I have several spinach/silver beet recipes on my blog listed here -
http://www.lambsearsandhoney.com/tag/spinach/
We used to get a bunch every week in our produce box and it became challenging to present it to the kids differently every week, so I hunted down some recipes.

I love spinach & ricotta caneloni and have about 2kgs in the freezer.

Thanks everyone

Love baby spinach but this siverbeet just beats me. Ha ha beats me, that is funny lol. Gosh its 6am, been up since 4.30!!

Looking at the slice and Amandas dip,  the dip is great as it uses natural yoghurt and i have a heap of tar
Thank you Amanda and everyone else.

Now what could i serve the dip  with within a meal??

BTW ths isnt helping running down my freezer, but you cant have verything.lol

Another thought is silverbeet (or spinach) gnocci - if you are interested I believe I have a non TMX recipe secreted away somewhere in my dusty bookshelf.

[judydawn]

There is a spinach addition suggested in the recipe in A Taste of Vegetarian  as under

 Re: Ricotta Gnocchi - vegetarian book (pg:87)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ricotta Gnocchi from 'A taste of Vegetarian'
80g parmesan, cubed
400g ricotta, drained
200g bakers flour or plain flour
salt to taste
nutmeg to taste
Place parmesan into bowl and grate for 10 seconds on speed 9.  Add ricotta and flour to the bowl and set dial to closed lid and knead for 1 minute on interval speed.
Remove dough from the bowl.  Roll portions into small sausage shapes and then cut into gnocchi pieces-about 1.5cm in length. Score the gnocchi by rolling pieces over the back of a fork.
Cook gnocchi in a pot of salted boiling water.  Once water has boiled add gnocchi.  When they rise to the top they are cooked, approx 5 minutes.
While cooking gnocchi use the TMX to create a sauce.
TIP You can increase the quantity if desired by using 600g ricotta and 300g flour.  Gnocchi can be made and then frozen.  To make a spinach and ricotta gnocchi, cut spinach first and remove from bowl and add back during kneading.

I found this information here http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3112.15
