- Water - prepare by simmering with 1 bay leaf, 2 onion slices, 2 thyme sprigs, juice of 1 lemon. Preheat the broiler on low.
- Trim the silverbeet stems, then cut into 2 to 3 inch lengths, on the diagonal.
- Drop them into the simmering water, add in 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook till tender but still just a little resistant to the knife, about 12 min. Scoop them out, reserving the cooking liquid.
- Heat the oil in a 10 inch skillet with the onion, basil, and saffron threads. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, till the onions soften and the saffron begins to yield its color, about 5 min. Add in the blanched silverbeet stems, season with salt and pepper, then add in a c. of the reserved cooking water. Simmer, covered, till the stems are fully tender, about 7 min. Remove the lid, add in the tomatoes, and cook till the remaining liquid has reduce to a syrupy consistency.
- Transfer the cooked silverbeet stems to a small gratin dish. Scatter the cheese over the top then slide under the broiler till the cheese is lightly browned in places. Garnish with a few more torn basil leaves, then serve.

- Deborah Madison,
- NOTES : Here is a rich-tasting dish we really enjoyed. And it's a great way to use the stems that I usually toss. If you use silverbeet, it's a very pretty dish, too.
- I didn't have any fresh basil, so I used a healthy pinch or possibly two of dry. I did have some saffron threads, so I used them, but because the amount is so small, I think it could easily be omitted.
