Live Beet Greens and Brown Rice

Live Beet Greens and Brown Rice

Today Ryan and I tried beet greens for the first time and I've got to say they were pretty good! I'm not sure if it was just the seasoning, but for some reason they had a lemony taste which I enjoyed. The beet greens were mixed with the baby beets and carrot that we pulled fresh from our garden. We were happy to see that we were able to grow a 3.5 inch carrot in the desert!

Ingredients:
Bunch of Beet Greens
Beets
Carrots
Garlic
Olive Oil
Seasoning

Directions:
1. Chop up your veggies.
2. Heat up some olive oil in a pan or wok.
3. Throw in the veggies and let the mix sautee for a few minutes.
4. Season with your favorite spices.  
Note: The less time that you cook your veggies the more nutritious they will be!

Brown Rice: Follow directions on the package to cook your brown rice. Add fresh seasoning in place of too much salt or butter.
Note: Brown rice is more nutritious than white rice because it hasn't gone through a refining process that strips away most of its beneficial nutrients. It's also high in fiber!

 2. Spread a few spoonfuls of sauce on the pita bread
3. Sprinkle on the protein crumbles, cheese, and veggies in any order you'd like.
