1104. SILVERBEET with BACON, PUMPKIN and FETA

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion
salt & pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 rashers bacon, diced
500 grams pumpkin, peeled, seeded, cut into 3-cm chunks, boiled until tender but not collapsing.
100 grams feta, crumbled
1 bunch silverbeet, (discard the bottom stalks), boil until wilted in salted water, drain

Heat the oil over moderate heat and add the garlic, onion, bacon and pumpkin, fry until the onion is soft and everything is browned. Add the silverbeet and season with salt and pepper. Fry gently, stirring occasionally, until the silverbeet is hot. Serve with the feta sprinkled on top. Good by itself with warm pita bread or as an accompaniment to barbecued or roast chicken or lamb.
