About this recipe

Sweet Chili Silverbeet sauce is the ultimate sauce to serve alongside your Christmas chicken roast recipe; creamy with a hint of sweet chili glaze.  Hands down, this is one of the easiest sauces to make. All you have to do is cook the silverbeet and combine it with the rest of the ingredients. A unique twist to the traditional selek dip to compliment your festive table, To me, sweet chili silverbeet sauce is THE TASTE of the holiday. A sweet-spicy moreish sauce to replace the traditional cranberry sauce.

Notes from Rouba

  • You can substitute greek yogurt for tahini
  • Keep in mind that the quality of tahini can vary with different brands so it’s best to add the water gradually.
  • Hulled or Unhulled Tahini – What’s the difference?

 

Method

Step 1

Coarsely chop the silverbeet

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add chopped silverbeet. Cook until softened approximately 15-20 minutes.

When tender, but not too soft, drain.

Step 2.

Add crushed garlic, tahini, lemon, and tender silverbeet to a bowl, using a hand blender, blend until somewhat fine but still rustic.

Add sweet chili and hot sauce and water as required for a sauce consistency. Stir well to combine.

If the sauce is too thick, simply add some water to thin it out.

This post is meant to be a recipe, but I can’t ignore what’s been happening 👉🏽👉🏽The last seven months have been incredibly challenging, watching thousands of innocent Palestinians being slaughtered in the name of self-defence 💔 It’s an excuse to ethnically cleanse the indigenous people of the land. But what I’ve seen in the last 24 hours has absolutely shattered me 😞

Families were told to move for their safety, only to be burnt alive. I forced myself to watch videos of beheaded babies—images that will never leave my mind. The destruction, the horrific scenes, and the screams are etched in our hearts and minds💔

And yet, our government responds with a mere, “It’s concerning.” Our tax money has contributed to the slaughter of these innocent people; our tax money has contributed to funding this genocide. 

I feel heartbroken and helpless. How can the world just watch? How can anyone say, “I’m staying out of this”?

I’m not ok. Are you?
With so many new followers here, today feels like the right time to reintroduce myself, as it also marks the 76th anniversary of the Nakba—a day of remembrance for the Palestinian people, including my family🇵🇸🌟 

I’m Rouba, 40+7 years young, and I’ve been happily married for 28 years🙏🏽 Those who follow my stories know my husband is quite the character, always keeping things lively 😅 We have two wonderful sons, and my mother-in-law is truly amazing—she often features in my stories ❤️

I’m a big foodie, with a special love for hummus fatteh, ofcourse the  Lebanese 🇱🇧 version 😉 it’s my absolute favourite! I believe Middle Eastern food is the yummiest in the world. 🙌🏼 And yes, I’m proudly pro-Palestine, married to a Palestinian. 

Seventy-five years ago, my husband’s grandfather and his family were evicted from their home. This history is a significant part of our lives 💔

Thanks for joining me here, where we celebrate rich flavours, vibrant stories, and the resilience of a remarkable culture.

Welcome to my journey! FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
