SAUTéED BEET GREENS

Steps:

• Rinse the stalks and leaves two or three times in cold water to remove all the dirt.
• Separate stalks from the leaves; don't worry about drying them. Coarsely chop the leaves and cut the stalks into 1 1/2 to 2-inch lengths.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium high heat. Sauté the beet stalks and spices for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and sauté another minute, stirring constantly, then dump the stalks into a bowl.
• Melt the butter in the same skillet or a large pot and sauté the leaves until wilted, roughly 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle on salt to taste. Mix with the sauteed stalks and squeeze the fresh lemon juice on top. Serve immediately.

SAUTEED GREENS WITH VINEGAR

Steps:

• Shake the rinsed greens in a colander to remove the excess liquid, but the leaves don't have to be thoroughly dry.
• Heat a large pot over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the garlic and cook for a few seconds until it is light brown. Add a couple of handfuls of greens and toss with tongs, incorporating the garlic so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the remaining greens all at once, or in batches if your pot isn't large enough to hold it all at once. Toss constantly so the greens wilt evenly. When wilted, season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over high heat, tossing often, until the excess liquid evaporates.
• Turn greens out into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then season with vinegar. Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 days and eat cold.
• Michael's Notes: The wine vinegar will cause the greens to lose their beautiful green color. You can omit it, but I think it improves their taste.
