Directions:
- Snip off the thin portion of the young beet root and discard.
- Wash the small beet with the beet tops well in cold water.
- Place the beet tops in a large cooking pot.
- Cover with cold water and bring to boil.
- Cover and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes or until the greens just start to wilt.
- Immediately remove the beets into a large frying pan using a slotted spoon.
- Add butter and fry on medium-high heat for about 4 minutes, stirring often.
- Now add the whipping cream, salt and pepper.
- Stir to coat beets and continue to fry until the whipping cream is reduced and starts to thicken into a creamy sauce, about 3 minutes.
- Serve along with your dinner meal.
- You may also use larger fresh beet top greens, but remove most of the stem from the leaves and discard.
- If desired, you can also use larger beets, but firstly peel them and cut them into very small cubes.
- Cook the cubed beets in water for about 4 minutes before adding the beet greens.
- Then continue to cook for another 4 minutes.
- Proceed in the same method as for the young beets.
- This method also works well for Swiss Chard.
