Just harvested half of my beet crop. Which amounts to two beets.

I ate one. With greens.

I'm amazed at how richly green and waxy looking the greens are on these
plants. They were the most robust looking plants in the garden.

And it's not how well I cooked it, but that I had one to cook at all.

No, I"ll do it analog. Ok, it was THIS big. See my hands? And it was
one of those golden ones, so the meat was about the color of my teeth.

And the greens were....green. And waxy. They were THIS waxy. See my ears?

What's a good recipe for beet(s) and greens. I just fried some onions,
then sauted the greens for a little while, with some water, and nuked
the beet sliced. Everything was just slightly bitter, but could have
been from not cooking long enough.

Man, I can't wait until I get some land. Hard to change the world on my
10x12 concrete patio.

I just steam beet greens and serve them with lemon butter.
The beet is cooked and served separately, pressure cooked, peeled,
sliced and served as is with lemon pepper and salted to the individual
taste. I don't generally cook with salt. The lemon pepper is the salt
free variety.

I love beets just sliced and steamed, the greens can be the same. Just
a little butter and they're delish! But you can roast beets, cut one
in half (through the stem end) and put it face down on a slightly
oiled sheet. Roast it until you can pierce with a fork. The peel
will slip off. This really enhances the natural sweetness of the
beet.

Ok, ok, give me another day, and I'll take a picture of what the beet

Congratulations on your beet crop.
There is no sarcasm there, none, just sympathy.
I once decided to try growing wheat in my 4x16 vegetable bed. I used about
half of the bed for the wheat, and my friend with the electric flour mill
laughed and laughed when I showed up on his doorstep with my little pint jar
of wheat berries.
But hey, I had enough flour to make a *delicious* batch of whole wheat rolls
for Thanksgiving, and gained a much better understanding of what goes on up
there in North Dakota.

I only knew about the site because some disgusting troll posted it on
one of the cooking lists...

But, you DID bring it up. g
