Cooking silverbeet, wash thinly shred whole leaf, stem and all, wash and cook/steam until ready. No need for extra water if just washed. Drain well and chop in colander with saucer or blade, add salt and pepper to taste , good knob of butter and splash of brown vinegar. Delicious. I am a cook by trade and this is my preferred way, never used nutmeg or milk.Enjoy
