Sautéed Beet Greens and Stems with Garlic
Makes 2 to 3 Servings
1 Bunch of Beet Greens
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Water, vegetable broth, or extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste, or other seasonings of choice
1 Tbsp Lemon juice or vinegar, optional (see “Tip” below)
Remove the stems from the beets, leaving about 2 inches still attached to the beets. Discard any old, wilted, or discolored leaves or stems. Wash the greens and stems. Cut them into bite size pieces, placing the stems and leaves in separate bowls.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable broth, water or oil. Add the chopped garlic and prepared stem pieces. Add salt, pepper or any seasonings, as desired. Stir-steam the vegetables for about 5 minutes, until the stems are crisp-tender. Add more liquid as needed to keep the vegetables from burning.
Add the greens and stir-steam until they are wilted and as tender as you like. Two or three minutes may be enough. Add a little more liquid or seasonings as needed while the greens cook. Only add enough liquid to keep the vegetables from burning. When the vegetables are as tender as you like, remove them from the heat and serve.
Tip: If leafy greens taste bitter to you, drizzle a little lemon juice or vinegar over your cooked greens before serving. Up to one tablespoon should be enough to reduce bitterness without giving them a lemony flavor.

"there is no specific measurement, just add what you need"...my kind of cooking instructions. Thank you ❤
You bet! Cooking greens is not like baking a cake, so exact measurements aren't needed :) I'm glad the video was helpful to you! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Now I know what to do with these beet stems thanks !
Awesome! If you enjoy beets, then you should like the greens cooked this way. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Thank you for making this video! I looked around for beet stem recipes and was beginning to think that they weren't very edible, only the greens were. Your instructions were excellent, and I really appreciate your honesty (for example the beet greens you had weren't up to standard, but still usable. You didn't have veggie broth on hand, so used water instead, which is still fine, but not as tasty...) and reasons for WHY you are doing what you are doing. I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I can tell I'm going to LEARN something by watching you!
Hi! Thank you for watching, subscribing, and sharing such kind comments! I have MANY, MANY videos uploaded in my online "library" of food-related information, so I hope you learn a lot through my channel! That's why I created it :) If you're looking for something particular just go to my channel home page and do a search. Hopefully you'll find what you need. www.youtube.com/@JudiintheKitchen Best wishes to you and yours :)
