Beet Greens Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Beet Greens Recipe, first young beet tops, or the young plants pulled from the bed where sown too thick, make delicious greens, particularly if the root has attained some little size. Wash thoroughly in many waters, put into a stewpan (roots and leaves), cover generously with boiling water, salt to taste, and let boil quite rapidly for about 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain, saving the water for soups or gravies, and chop rather coarse. Season with vegetable butter and salt, reheat, and serve.
