As I was starting to throw the greens from my golden beets away, I remembered seeing a dish with beet greens as a side. I looked up a couple recipes and decided to give them a try. They have a nice soft texture and very mild flavor. They were a hit in my house.
Pull the green leaves off of the stalks, rinse and then boil for 2 mins in lightly salted water. Drain and place in cold water to stop the cooking. In a sauté pan melt some coconut oil, 1 clove of minced garlic and a dash or two of crushed red pepper. Sauté for just a min and add the drained, chopped greens and sauté for just a minute more until hot. Season with S&P to taste. Serve with fresh lemon slices.
I will definitely make these anytime I'm able to get my hands on organic beets. Delicious!!!
