• 1tablespoon unsalted butter

• 1garlic clove, thinly sliced

• 2lbs baby beet leaves, washed

• 1 -2teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

1. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over low heat, and add the garlic.

2. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but does not take on any color.

3. Add the moist greens, raise the heat to medium-high, and cover the pan. Cook until the greens wilt, about 2 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.

4. Remove the cover; if there's any excess liquid, cook until it evaporates
