3 beets with green tops
1 orange - juiced and zested
1/2 a yellow onion, sliced
Preparation
# Remove greens from beets and wash everything thouroughly to remove grit and chop greens
# Place beets into a medium pot and cover with water
# Bring to gentle boil and cook until fork-tender (about 20 mins). During this time you can cook the onions (see step 6)
# When beets are cooked, drain and allow to cool just enough to handle and slip the skins from them
# Slice the beets and set aside
# Add onions to a skillet with some butter and cook on medium with a little salt for 10 minutes, watching that they don't burn
# At end of 10 minutes, add orange juice to "deglaze" the pan and the remove orange/onion mixture to a medium bowl
# In the skillet from the onions, add more butter and saute your beet greens with salt and pepper until wilted but still crisp (about 4- 5 mins) then add to your bowl with onion/orange mixture
# Now saute your beets in the same way until they have a little golden crispness on each side (just 4 - 5 mins) and add to the bowl
# Top with orange zest and more salt and pepper to taste

I saw the beets today with the stems and all. I will try the recipe after Thanksgiving. Seems I am the only one who likes this vegetable. Perhaps your recipe will change his mind. Eh?

I can't figure out why beets are not more popular...they are wonderful. This recipe looks great and I plan to try it soon.
