A delightful and healthy dish featuring golden beets and their greens, enhanced with a citrusy twist.
Wash and peel the golden beets, then dice them into bite-sized pieces.
Peeling the beets under running water can help reduce staining on your hands.
Rinse the beet greens thoroughly and chop them into manageable pieces.
Ensure the greens are completely dry before cooking to avoid excess water in the dish.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Crushing the garlic before mincing releases more flavor.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the diced beets, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally until the beets start to caramelize.
Using a non-stick pan can prevent the beets from sticking and burning.
Add the water to the pan, cover with a lid, and let the beets simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the water hasn't evaporated completely.
Add the chopped greens to the pan and squeeze the juice of the lemon and orange over them. Cover and cook until the greens are wilted.
Adding citrus juice at the end preserves its fresh flavor.
Serve the dish warm and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor.
