Instructions

Wash beet greens and separate stems from leaves. Cut the stems into 1" pieces, and chop the leaves.

In a nonstick pan, add the stems and 1 cup of water. Cover and simmer for 4-7 minutes or until they're fork-tender. Drain well.

Add the beet greens, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the pan, squeezing the lemon over the greens. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the greens are wilted.

Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the butter and salt and pepper to taste.
