Christmas Vegetable Saute!

Try making these delicious veggies for the holidays.  Blow your socks off awesome!

The combination of onion, beets, beet stems, beet greens, kale and garlic, make these veggies sweet, tasty, and they're packed full of goodness!

We had our veggies with salmon and couscous, but they will work well with any meat or fish.  This would make a fantastic veggie pasta...

Recipe for two:

6 small baby red red beets, peeled and cubed, on the small side
beet stems, chopped, greens removed and saved
beet greens, chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
4 leafs of kale, chopped, stems removed
4 cloves garlic, finely sliced
salt and pepper
1 T olive oil
1 T butter

Heat up the oil and butter in a heavy saute pan over medium high heat.  When the oil and butter are really hot, add the beets, onions and beet stems.  Season with salt and pepper and stir to coat.  At this point everything should be sizzling and cooking well, add the garlic and lower the heat to medium low.

Cook until soft, then add the greens, and cook until wilted, stirring a few times.

Serve onto warm plates, with your favorite protein or pasta.

Bon Appetit!  Chef Hobbes
