Lately my vegetable garden has been absolutely overflowing with silverbeet. We have soooo much of it going on, it’s crazy!

Anyway, I’ve made this Thermomix Silverbeet & Ricotta Tart quite a few times now… and it really is delicious (and the perfect way to use up some of the silverbeet).

You can serve this as a light dinner with a salad on the side, or as a yummy lunch. It can also be frozen – which is perfect for those nights that you need to grab something quick and easy to reheat.

Ooh and one more thing! I like to make this Thermomix Silverbeet & Ricotta Tart using 1/2 the quantity of our olive oil pastry, but if you’re rushed for time, you can always use a sheet of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry instead. Yummy and easy!
