Introduction
Decided to try something new and bought fresh beets. Then I had to figure out what to do with the stems and greens so as not to waste anything. Decided to try something new and bought fresh beets.

Ingredients
-
1.5 tbsp Coconut Oil
6.0 cup Beet greens, fresh
1.0 tbsp Sweet Cooking Rice Wine
1.0 serving 3 Pepper & Onion Blend, Kroger (frozen) - 1 cup
Directions
Cut the stems off 3 fresh beets. Wash the greens and stems very thoroughly because they will be very sandy and gritty. Chop all the stems off the greens and then finely chop the stems - they are fibrous kind of like celery. Set aside in a bowl. Rough chop the greens.
In a large skillet or medium saucepan, it will need a lid, melt coconut oil over medium Heat. Then add up to three-quarters of a cup finely chopped seasoning vegetables. Down here in Louisiana we call it the Trinity: onion, celery, and bell pepper, and you can find it already chopped and frozen just about everywhere.
When the onions start turning clear add the beet stems. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes. Tip in a little cooking wine or Vermouth and then add the roughly chopped greens. Cover, turn the heat to low , and simmer until all the greens are wilted, stirring occasionally. They will lose a lot of volume. The stems will not. The alcohol in the wine will cook out over time. This simmering will take 20-30 minutes or so. Serve hot as a side.
