Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Scrape two bunches of the plants, cover with cold water and a gill of vinegar to prevent them turning black.
  2. Cut into thin slices across and cook in salted boiling water until tender.
  3. Drain and pour over enough white sauce to a little more than cover them.
