What to do with those beet greens....

This time of year is wonderful for using greens as a flavorful side dish. We often think of using spinach or even kale this way. Many people are also familiar with using beet greens in the same way. The die-hards among us will also cook mustard greens or turnip greens, although they're a bit much for us!

The following recipe is from Lorrie Stierwalt, and will work with your leafy green beet tops....

Lorrie's Greens

Cook greens from several beets in a little water until they have a deep color and are cooked through.
Add a little bit of unsalted butter, garlic powder, pepper, basil and a "smidgen" of vinegar. :-)

We tried it and we liked it!
