Ingredients

stalks from one bunch of silverbeet
¼ cup olive oil
pinch salt flakes 
1 red onion, finely sliced 
3 cloves garlic, finely sliced
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 large red chilli, finely sliced 
1/2 cup water 
1/2 bunch fresh basil, leaves torn

Method

Trim stalks and lightly peel any fibrous exterior. Cut into chunky rectangular batons.

Heat a heavy-based saucepan or braising pot over a medium heat. Add olive oil, salt flakes, onion and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until soft and aromatic, and before it begins to colour. Add stalks, tomatoes and chilli. Cook for another couple of minutes. Add water, cover with a lid and slowly cook for 20 minutes until soft, juicy and sweetly aromatic.

Fold through torn basil and serve.
