After trimming the juicy, vibrant greens from young beets, don't throw them away. Instead, prepare a delicious and healthy side dish, rich in fiber and micronutrients. Cut the leaves into small pieces and sauté for a few minutes in olive oil with garlic and red pepper. As soon as the greens have wilted, remove from the heat. Lemon zest and juice will add even more flavor to your vitamin-rich side dish. Once you've tried fried beet greens, you'll never throw away such a valuable ingredient again. Serve with any meat dish.
