SAUTEED BEETS & GREENS
This is a lovely, simple way to prepare fresh beets and greens. The beetroot is cubed and cooked until tender and sauteed with the greens in butter, olive oil and garlic. My husband and I love beets, especially when cooked this way. The last time we prepared this dish, we used golden beets and enjoyed the contrast of the golden-yellow chopped beetroot against the lush greens. What we love most about beets is that it is one of the very few vegetables, which the entire plant can be utilized. Plus the health benefits are plentiful!
