Recipe: Pumpkin Silverbeet Curry

Before starting my new job I decided to stock the freezer with meals for when I’m too tired to cook and this pumpkin silverbeet curry has been a real winner. It’s delicious, easy to whip up and reheats excellently. Present Liz is very happy with Past Liz, that’s for sure!

This pumpkin silverbeet curry comes together in about 45 minutes so it’s perfect for a mid-week meal that should leave you with leftovers for lunch as well! It’s also a nice mild curry so will suit all tastebuds, and you could always add some chilli if you want to kick things up a notch! Serve with rice or naan bread and you’ll be on a real winner!

I love finding new ways to use silverbeet as well – it was something we ate a lot of when I was younger as it was always flourishing in mum’s veggie patch. I got used to having in lightly steamed, or in a quiche – or most of the time feeding it to my guinea pigs – but nowadays I’m definitely a fan!
