23 Silverbeet Recipes That Trump Kale, Every Time

Silverbeet, that long-stalked, dark-green vegetable, has a special place in our hearts. Stalk, leaves and all, silverbeet holds up in our recipes for creamy gratins and savoury tarts and towers of gözleme, and is a worthy team player in soups and salads. Wilted, it’s an excellent side for roasted or slow-cooked meats, and we especially love its place in Rosetta’s ricotta and silverbeet malfatti with sage burnt butter.

Here are our best silverbeet recipes.
