Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches beet greens, stems removed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
ΒΌ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 lemons, quartered

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the beet greens, and cook uncovered until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the greens are cold, drain well, and coarsely chop.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the greens until oil and garlic is evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper. Cook just until greens are hot; serve with lemon wedges.

This was my first time cooking beet greens and they were a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been cooked for a little bit longer.
