Beet Greens Recipe Recipe directions: Wash beet greens well and then separate the stalk from the leaves. Chop the stalk into bite-sized peices, and then rough chop the greens. Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Add garlic and, if desired, a little fresh hot pepper. Let these ingredients cook for about a minute, and then add chopped green onion bottoms (reserve chopped green onion tops to add later). Cook for 2 minutes and then add the chopped beet stalks. Saute for 1-2 minutes and then add diced tomato. Bring the skillet back up to a simmer. Add salt and pepper and simmer for approx. 5 minutes. Add in a little vinegar.
