just BEET it

Since I am trying to use every part of my most fresh garden goodies, beet greens were next to be used (I have a plethora of yellow hungarian peppers that are almost ready - any suggestions?).

Last night for dinner, I treated myself to something that was more than just a bowl of cereal or ice cream, which are two very common dinner dishes when JB is out of town. So, I gathered my beet greens and figured I would make it a nice hot dish, the beet green salad didn't really tickle my fancy.

I gathered garlic olive oil, chicken sausage with red peppers and cheese stuffed inside and commenced to cooking in a pan. Boy, did it make the house smell good afterwards! And the beet greens tasted just like spinach, but not as bitter and with a touch of beet-y-ness. Definitely a do-over!
RECIPE
1 chicken sausage, cut into slices
handful of beet greens, rinsed with stems removed
3 tbs garlic olive oil (or regular oil with garlic thrown in!)
1 potato, sliced

I heated the pan up and after it was warm added the olive oil and then salt&peppered some potato slices and threw them into the heat. After they were browned on each side, I removed the slices and let them dry on paper towels. I threw the sausage into the already hot pan and cooked until just browning and then threw in the beet greens, added salt& pepper and VOI-LA!
