But back to your question - our favorite greens are the beet tops, we sautee and eat
as is, or stuff chicken, or eat raw in a
salad along with the
stems.
I used a similar recipe (Ani Phyo's) tonight but didn't want it so nut heavy so I used brocolli
stems as I forgot I had a head of brocolli in thefridge which was well past its best BUT it made a great taco meat with a small amount of walnuts to top a plain
salad.
