Silverbeet/chard Mediterranean style: chop & steam the stalks gently until tender, then add the roughly chopped or torn leaves. Cover the pot, turn off the heat, then leave a couple of minutes until the leaves are wilted. Drain then toss through a splash of good olive oil, pinch of salt, black pepper, then a squeeze of lemon or lime. Serve warm or cold. Magnifico!! Also great the next day fried gently with eggs mixed in.
