3. Saute chopped onion, garlic, and finely chopped silverbeet stems (if using) for 1-2 minutes....put a thin layer of passata sauce along bottom of a rectangular casserole dish...add remainder of passata to the onion mix...shake a bit of water in the jar to remove all sauce and add to frypan...simmer for 5-10 minutes..
