Love spinach and swiss chard? If your answer is “yes”, then you will definitely be a fan of beet greens. For anyone who isn’t exactly sure what I’m referring to, it’s exactly what you would expect – the green leaves attached to beets. Have you been throwing them away? Don’t! Buying a bunch of beets can become a double dose of veggies. Beet greens are delicious and highly delicious. Have you tried them yet? Here is my favorite way to make them…
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
- 1 bunch beet greens
- 1 tablespoon Bragg Liquid Aminos or sea salt to taste
- a sprinkle of fresh lemon juice (optional)
How to:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet
- Add garlic, greens, liquid aminos/salt
- Stir frequently until greens are wilted down (only takes a few minutes)
- Sprinkle lemon juice for a little zing
- Enjoy!
Serves 1 – 2 servings (depending on how much you love your greens ;))
