Room 6 Cooking in the kitchen

Today we harvested the rainbow silverbeet also know as chard. 

Sometimes we eat vegetables by themselves. Usually this is when we are least likely to like something. Often vegetables that have a taste we don't like can be put into other things to enhance the taste and nutritional quality of that food. 

Mrs Mardell's first idea was to make tasty little treats for our lunchbox, but we just don't have time. You could easily make the recipe below at home for lunch with left over rice from dinner. They are full of protein to build body tissues, carbohydrates that are the 'petrol' for the body and goodness from the silverbeet.

What we really made...

Silverbeet sautée with feta and currants

Heat olive oil in a fry pan till hot. (You can sautée 1-2 cloves of crushed garlic).

Add one or two bunches of silverbeet or a variety of silverbeet that has been finely cut. 

Add a teaspoon of vegetable stock paste (there's plenty of liquid from the vegetables).
Cook stirring until it begins to soften then add 2 -4 Tablespoons dried currants and some sage from the garden of you have it.

Remove from heat and grumble feta over the top. 

This is the remains...

Serve and eat. 


This is actually one of Mrs Mardell's recipes she made up that she has with roast chicken or chorizo.

  1. Room 6 you are doing wonderful things at garden to Table with Mrs Mardell. I can't wait for Room 5 to have a turn. I did taste the Kale chips and they were scrumptious, especially since you had grown the kale. Well done . from Miss Cowsill
