Yep! A Silverbeet Food Forest!
So what's happened here is that the silverbeet has realised it is growing in a Food Forest and has embraced the concept!
I've had people visiting the Food Forest taking photos of the silverbeet and doing selfies with some of the large leaves!
Been a great silverbeet year- and lots now cooked and frozen for future meals.
Silverbeet soup is THE BEST!
Here is my recipe if you are keen to give it a go:
Get yourself a big pot.
Peel and slice an onion or two and cook in a little oil until translucent. Add chopped garlic and cook a little.
Then add the silverbeet (I just remove the main white stem and throw the whole leaf in. Add water- 2 to 3 cups max.
Let the silverbeet wilt down. Add stock of your choice if wanted.
Puree the whole lot.
Add a little milk (I use Oat Milk), season, add some lemon juice, yoghurt (or sour cream) if you have it- and enjoy.
I've been having a bit of silverbeet soup lately- and tell you what- you feel really healthy and well. I've been quite surprised! Popeye knew what he was on about!
