Sweet and Spicy Beet Greens and Zucchini
/1 Tbsp olive oil
Greens from one bunch of beets - leaves and stems separated and chopped
1-2 zucchini or patty pan small diced
¼ cup fine chopped garlic scapes
2 (1/4-inch-thick) slices fresh ginger root, peeled and julienned (note: it is very easy to peel ginger by scraping the skin with a spoon.)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp maple syrup
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chopped stems, garlic scape, zucchini and ginger in the hot oil until they begin to soften; season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped greens to the skillet; reduce heat to low. Continue cooking until the leaves have wilted, about 2 minutes more.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the mixture; stir to coat evenly. Remove from heat and serve.
