Creamed Silverbeet Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Creamed Silverbeet is a delicious and comforting side dish made with sautéed silverbeet (also known as Swiss chard) in a creamy sauce. The silverbeet is cooked until tender and then combined with a rich and creamy sauce made with butter, flour, milk, and cheese. This dish is a great way to enjoy the earthy and slightly bitter flavor of silverbeet, and it pairs well with roasted meats or grilled fish.
