Herb marinade
Rainbow silverbeet

Method

Main

1.For herb marinade, process ingredients in a food processor to a coarse paste. Add more olive oil if necessary.

Heat vegetable oil in large saucepan over high heat, sauté stalks, chilli and garlic until just tender (2-3 minutes), add leaves and stock, cook until tender (3 minutes).
