Easy Vegan Beet Greens

I know my way around a beet. Boil it, roast it, bake it. Even marinate it. But I’ve never personally dealt with beet greens. The challenge: how do I make them not only eatable but also delicious.

It came out awesome!

1. Separate the beets from the stalks
2. Wash the leaves and stalks thoroughly
3. Cut the stalks into 1 or 2 inch pieces
4. Very coarsely cut the leaves or web rip them by hand
5. Sauté some onion with the stalks in olive oil for a few minutes
6. Add the leaves and some salt and sauté until the leaves are considerably wilted

Enjoy over some rice or just by itself. Some vegan sour cream made for a delicious addition.
