Eat Your Greens!!!

Sometimes it's hard to get kids to eat the leafy greens
But if you disguise the one that they really turn their nose up at like Silverbeet (Chard)
Just mix the sliced leaves with some other greens that kids seem to love
i.e.Broccoli,  Courgettes,
Add a shallot for flavour
Some peas
And Voila...Gorgeous bright green vege, who can resist this

Olive Oil
1 shallot peeled and sliced
1 head broccoli
1 courgette sliced
1 bunch silverbeet (chard)
1 cup frozen peas (blanched)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


Remove stalks from the broccoli
slice into matchsticks

Cut broccoli head into "Trees "
Slice courgette

Remove stalks from silverbeet and  slice thinly
The slice leaves

Into a pan add good dash -(2-3) tablespoons Olive oil
Add sliced shallots
saute till soft
Add the broccoli stalks and silverbeet stalks

Meanwhile blanch Broccoli (trees) and courgettes slices in boiling salted water
 for 1 minute,

 drain and add to pan

Slice silverbeet leaves and add to pan
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

saute until soft
While this is happening
Blanch frozen peas in boiling salted water
Then add to  pan
taste and adjust seasoning if needed
An excellent side dish of vege for your dinner

Pair with your protein of the day and if you want some carbs
Mashed potato perhaps, always a favourite
