Warm Citrus Beet Greens

1 large beet, any variety
2 T. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bunch beet greens, de-stemmed and sliced into 3" pieces
1/4 c. fresh orange juice
Salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wrap the beet in aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes or until easily pierced with a knife. Allow to cool slightly. Peel by placing it into a paper towel and rubbing off the skin. Dice into 1/2" pieces.

When the beet is done, heat the oil in a large skillet oven medium heat. Cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, stirring occasionally. Add the greens and orange juice, stirring occasionally, until the greens have wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice the beet into thin rounds and toss with the greens. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.
