Lemon & Butter Braised Beet Greens image

This is from the Earthbound Farms Organic Foods website. It says.... Choose baby leaves, 4 to 6 inches in length, for the mildest taste and most tender greens. Mature leaves have a much more pungent flavor and are best boiled until tender. This simple saute takes just a few minutes to cook and makes a lovely accompaniment to roast chicken or steak.

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings greens, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
2 lbs baby beet leaves, washed
1 -2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over low heat, and add the garlic.
  • Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but does not take on any color.
  • Add the moist greens, raise the heat to medium-high, and cover the pan. Cook until the greens wilt, about 2 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.
  • Remove the cover; if there's any excess liquid, cook until it evaporates.
  • Toss the greens with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and serve hot.
