Baby Beet Greens

• Beet greens, washed, trimmed and cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlics, chopped fine
• 1/2 small red onion, sliced thinly
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Wash and trim the beat greens to ensure all the dirt has been removed. If you are using baby beet greens, don't bother to trim the stems. Just chop them into 1 inch pieces. Older beet greens may have stems that are too tough.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking for about 1 minute to soften and wilt the onion. Add the beet greens to the pan. Stir together the red wine vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Add the mixture to the pan, stirring to coat the greens. Cover the pan for 2-5 minutes, until the greens are wilted and tender.
