Beets are heavenly!

I love beets - especially the deep red ones that stain my hands as I clean and prepare them. Equally delicious and lovely to look at are beet greens. Full Belly provided me with tiny newly harvested beets and their greens. I generally just boil my beets, slice them and add a bit of salt and lemon. When the tops look nice and tender - I chop them and steam them until they are tender and give them the same treatment - salt and lemon. My husband does not have the same love affair with beets and their tops as I do. The following recipe was provided by Full Belly. I adapted it and it was a complete success with my husband - he loved it. And it stays pretty true to how I enjoy beets. Try it and see what you think.
