This summer I'll be planting three different varieties of beets. I'm so excited to get started out there.Beets are a great source of vitamin C, B's and fiber. They're great either roasted or added to salads.
I also eat the greens of the beets. They're very tasty and very nutritious.
There's this delicious beet green sandwich that I've been making on lazy dinner nights, when I just want to throw something fast together.
For those of you interested in trying this easy beet green sandwich, I've listed to recipe below.
Ingredients;
1 bunch of beet greens cut and rinsed.
2 medium cloves of minced garlic
1 or more tbs olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Whole grain bun
Pour olive oil into a medium frying pan. Add the greens to the pan and saute over medium heat. After 5 minutes of sauteing add the garlic and continue to saute until soft,wilted and fully cooked.
Once finished remove from the pan and season with sea salt and pepper.
Place on a toasted whole grain bun and top with either soy cheese, or dairy cheese.
This is quick, easy and very healthy. If you love greens this is surely worth a try!
