Sautéed Silverbeet Stems

Often we only use the main part of a vegetable and throw away the stems, peels or leaves. Silverbeet stems can end up in the bin without much thought. If you’ve used silverbeet leaves in a recipe or salad, don’t throw away the stems, make this recipe!

Adding yoghurt in this dish makes it tangy and creamy without being rich. Serve with fish, falafel or lamb skewers, a chickpea stew and flatbreads.
