Lemon & Butter Braised Beet Greens - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
2 lbs baby beet leaves, washed
1 -2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over low heat, and add the garlic.
Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but does not take on any color.
Add the moist greens, raise the heat to medium-high, and cover the pan. Cook until the greens wilt, about 2 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.
Remove the cover; if there's any excess liquid, cook until it evaporates.
Toss the greens with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and serve hot.
