Ingredients

  • 4 Red beet greens and stems (washed)
  • ½ Onion - finely diced.
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • First, chop the beet stems into 2-inch pieces and chop the dark, leafy greens of the beets into bite-sized pieces.
  • Next, dice the onion.
  • Then, add a sprinkling of salt to the garlic and smash to make a paste.
  • Heat oil in a saute pan and saute the onion and garlic until soft and they start to take on a golden color.
  • Add the chopped beet stems to the pan and stir to saute them for 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften.
  • Add the chopped beet greens to the pan and allow them to wilt for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season with red pepper flake, lemon juice and zest, if using.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parmesan cheese, if using.

Notes

  3. Drain the sink and repeat.
