Add in 1 Tbsp. butter, cover pot, and set aside for 1 minute. Stir to distribute melted butter and add in salt to taste. Cold rice mix for several min.
- Place 1/3 c. rice mix in center of each silverbeet leaf. Fold edges over to seal in rice and make neat bundles.
- Heat remaining 3 Tbsp. butter and sage in a large skillet over medium heat. When sage leaves are lightly crisped, use a fork to transfer them to a small plate. Add in silverbeet bundles to empty pan, seam side down, and saute/fry, turning once, till lightly browned, about 4 min. Transfer silverbeet bundles to a serving platter, and garnish with fried sage leaves. Serve immediately.
