Save the stem and green leaves of that bunch of beetroot you bought. Then, clean and sauté them up with some garlic, ginger, and spices, and you have a healthy and delicious side dish of Beet Greens.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Coconut oil can use grapeseed oil or olive oil instead
- 1 bunch of beet greens approximately 4 cups chopped
- 1 fresh yellow onion
- 1 inch chunk of fresh ginger
- 5 cloves of fresh garlic
- 3 teaspoons powdered coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- salt and pepper to taste
- OPTIONAL - fresh parsley and/or red pepper flakes to garnish
Instructions
- Peel and chop the onion, ginger, and garlic.
- Then, add the coconut oil to a large skillet and place it over a stovetop set at medium heat.
- Then add the peeled and chopped onion, ginger, and garlic to the large skillet and let sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so these do not burn.
- While the onion, ginger, and garlic are sautéing over medium heat, wash the beet greens well, to get rid of any soil and dirt. Dry them well with kitchen towels or paper towels.
- Then, chop up them up and add them to the pan with the onion, ginger, and garlic.
- Also add in the coriander, smoked paprika, and turmeric.
- Sauté this mixture up for about 3–5 minutes, or until the beet greens are tender and start to wilt.
- Then, remove the sautéed beet greens from the oil and generously sprinkle with lime juice.
- Season this side dish with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve up this colorful recipe garnished with some chopped fresh parsley and/or some red pepper flakes.
