Sautéed Silverbeet with Chickpeas
Silverbeet is very cheap at the moment here in New Zealand. I love how packed it is with NUTRIENTS!!!! Silverbeet will add fibre, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, folate and other nutrients to your diet, but an even better reason to eat silver beet is for the lutein it contains. This is an important antioxidant which helps protect our eyesight from damage by UV light (www.healthyfood.co.nz). Funny story: the other day after coming home with all of our groceries, miss D our 15mos old decided to take a peak into the bag as usual
She found the silverbeet sticking out of a plastic bag and decided to touch a leaf ... She freaked out and was actually quite scared to hang out in the kitchen till I had moved it to a hidden location (aka the fridge). Anyways back to the recipe, the white cubes you see is Paneer (type of cheese served in Indian cuisine),you can alternatively use toasted bread instead, or tofu
