ON THE LIGHTER SIDE - Asian Beet Greens Stir-Fry

The stems and greens from the beet are sautéed with ginger, garlic, scallions, and tossed with sesame oil, sweet chili sauce and sesame seeds. This recipe is very tasty and light and I used organic beets freshly picked from the farm!

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 slice of fresh ginger minced
• 2 sprigs scallion slice into inch pieces
• 1 bunch of beet greens with stems
• 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Heat oil in a large non stick skillet or wok over medium heat until hot. Add the garlic, ginger and scallions and cook until fragrant.

Add the beet stems and cook until tender, stirring often. Add the beet leafy greens and cook until wilted and dark green.

Once cooked, drain excess liquid and then add the seasonings, sesame oil and seeds, stir until well coated.
