Beets with a Twist

I love to eat beets in the fall when they are fresh out of the farmer's field. My mother created this very simple recipe that our entire family enjoys.

6 medium beets with greens

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1/2 T olive oil

1/2 T butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Cut the greens off of the beets, wash, coarsely chop, and set aside. Boil the beets until cooked thoroughly. Remove beets from heat, peal the skins off and then slice. In a sauté pan, heat butter and oil on medium high heat. Add beet greens and cook until slightly limp. Then add orange juice and sliced beets. Cook until greens are done, beets are hot, and most of the orange juice has evaporated. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with brown rice and your favorite roast.
