SILVERBEET ( SWISS CHARD) AND MUSHROOM PIE
This looks delicious and has a 5 star rating on www.taste.com.au This recipe was originally printed in Fresh Living magazine. It's Winter in Australia and I've been looking for a simple pie recipe without too many ingredients. I think this one fits the bill nicely. You could substitute Spinach for Silverbeet too.

GRASS ROOTS FUDGE PIE
This is a more fudge-y version of a chocolate pie! It has been passed down in my family forever and I have no idea where it came from. Even those who do not like chocolate pie, love this pie. It is foolproof and was the very first thing I ever baked. Always requested on family birthdays and holidays! I serve it with a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream! Also, sometimes I use a pre-made pie crust and sometimes I make my own! NOTE: Yes, this has a lot of calories and fat, you can use margarine instead of butter. Other than that, I would not mess with it too much! I tried it using Splenda and it was less than desirable. UPDATE: 09/16/2009 Per review: I NEVER prebake my pie-crust and it comes out perfectly -- neither have the generations of women who have made this before me. That might be a personal preference, but the recipe is intended to be made with an unbaked pie shell.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Dust pie crust lightly on both sides with the flour, so that it feels kind of dusty.
- Put pie crust in a pie plate and crimp edges (optional).
- Combine the first five ingredients and whisk together.
- Some cocoa lumps are normal.
- It will be VERY runny and look like chocolate juice.
- Pour mixture into prepared pie plate.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes in preheated oven.
- NOTE: At the end of thirty minutes if it is still liquid in the middle put the pie back in the oven in 3 minute increments. It should be a LITTLE jiggly, NOT LIQUIDY (just a slight wobble, I mean very slight) like jello, in the middle when it is done. Let it cool and it will set up perfectly! Cook time will vary with your oven. My mom's oven takes 30 minutes exactly. Mine takes closer to 45.

Steps:
- Use pastry to line the base and sides of a 2.5cm deep, 26cm (base) fluted, loose-based flan pan.
- Trim excess pastry.
- Place pan and pastry in the freezer for 15 minutes or until firm.
- In a small pan, shaking the pan frequently, toast the pine nuts until lightly browned; remove from the pan and set aside.
- Or you can use the same larger pan that you then use for steps 3-5.
- Place the bacon in a large non-stick pan over a medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes or until light golden.
- Add the leek and garlic to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until they have softened.
- Add the silverbeet - or spinach - and toss all the ingredients until they are well-combined; remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 3 minutes or until the silverbeet - or spinach - has wilted and completely cooled.
- Place a baking tray in the oven and preheat the oven and tray to 200°C.
- Place the flan pan on the hot tray and bake the pastry case for 10 to 12 minutes or until it is lightly golden.
- Remove the flan pan and pastry case from the oven and reduce the heat to 180°C.
- Spread the silverbeet mixture over the pastry base, top with cheese and pine nuts.
- With a fork, beat the eggs, cream, milk and salt and pepper to taste, in a jug; and pour over the egg mixture the cheese.
- Cook the quiche for 25 to 30 minutes or until it has set in the centre.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a salad and crusty rolls.
- Notes: If using baby spinach leaves, you may want to leave them whole. Some people remove the stalks, but I always find baby spinach leaves, stalks and all, so tender that I leave the stalks on. IT's a bit of a timesaver too!

SILVERBEET QUICHE WITH CREAM CHEESE CRUST
It's Springtime, so that means my chickens are laying their butts off (hee hee) and the Swiss Chard (aka Silverbeet) is growing like crazy. What to do? Make quiche! I make a large amount of this in a big roasting pan, then freeze individual pieces in ziplocs. It's great cold or hot: for those nights I just don't feel like cooking, for taking to work for lunch or on road trips (just out of the freezer and into the lunch bag), or for leaving in the freezer for later in the year when there's a dearth of eggs and chard.

Steps:
- Melt butter in cast iron skillet. Add garlic and onion, diced fine.
- Cut stem from chard leaves and chop into small pieces, about 3/4 of an inch long. Add to butter, et al, in skillet. Stir fry until translucent.
- Chop the green portion of the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Add to the skillet and cook until wilted.
- While you're cooking the chard and onions, mix up the crust: Combine all dry crust ingredients (flour, salt, pepper, Herbs de Provence) in a bowl and combine well. Cut in butter and cream cheese. Mix well until it forms a ball and set aside, covered.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl (eggs, cream, Romano cheese, turmeric, salt and white pepper) and whisk until well blended. If the turmeric and other dry seasonings don't want to mix into the eggs, use an electric mixer.
- Grease your baking pan (I used a 12x17x2.5 inch deep roasting pan since my original recipe made a LOT) and press the crust into the pan evenly across the bottom. If you want to go up the sides of the pan, do. If you don't, don't. Just make sure the sides are well-greased no matter which you do.
- Turn your oven to 350 degrees. Pour the filling into the baking pan and bake at 350 until all the eggs are set. If you want to, you can sprinkle more cheese on top right before baking.

SILVERBEET (SWISS CHARD ) PIE AKA " GRASS PIE"
A great pie to add silverbeet to your diet. Even my children enjoy this open pie. You can use pre-made pie crusts or frozen shortcrust pastry sheets as the pie shell. It even turns out OK without a pie shell at all! I've made this pie gluten-free by using ChristinaCeline's Recipe#214686 as the pie crust and you dot need to grease the pie dish or cook the pastry shell before filling. I use light ricotta cheese and light cheddar in my pie to reduce the fat content- you can use the full versions if you wish. You can also add in some cooked diced bacon or ham pieces with the silverbeet if desired or add in some sliced chillies if you like some heat in your pie. My youngest daughter has now renamed this pie " Grass Pie" :)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F ( 200°C ) 15 to 20 degrees less if using a fan-forced oven.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frypan and add the garlic and chopped leek. Cook on a gentle to medium heat until the leek has softened. Set aside to cool.
- Remove the course stems from the silverbeet and just use the green leaves. Chop them roughly and add the whole bunch to a large saucepan. Add 1 cup of water. Cook over a medium heat with the lid on until the spinach has steamed and wilted down. Do not overcook the spinach- it should only take a few minutes to this point.
- When the silverbeet has wilted - strain it as much as possible and place on a clean tea-towel. Wrap the silverbeet in a clean tea-towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Chop the silverbeet finer if desired and add it to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cooked leek mixture, eggs, cheeses, salt and pepper to the silverbeet. Mix and pour into the pie shell.
- Decorate with the sliced tomato and sprinkle over some more cracked black pepper and salt.
- Bake in the oven approx 40 minutes or until set through. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with a salad or more veggies on the side.
