Thrifty in the kitchen. Generous at the table. That would be the cooking mantra I grew up with. If you bought beets, you'd use both the tops and the roots. My grandmother steams beet greens in water and dresses them with a little balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. The sour cream dressing is one she makes for salads. I combined the two. Because isn't that what's supposed to happen to family recipes?

Ingredients

  • Greens from 2 bunches (8 to 10) medium beets, trimmed and washed

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

  • 1 tsp. sugar

  • 2 tbsp. cider vinegar

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (not low-fat)

Method

  • 01
    In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Season with pepper.
  • 02
    Pour ¼ cup water into a large sauté pan. Spread the greens in the pan and cover with a lid. Set over medium high heat and once you hear the water steaming, toss the greens with tongs.
  • 03
    Continue steaming and tossing the greens until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add more water to the pan as needed; there should be just enough to steam the greens with out water-logging them.
  • 04
    Use the tongs to transfer the greens (leaving the water behind) to a mixing bowl.
  • 05
    Spoon a few tablespoons dressing over the greens. Add more as needed. Spread the greens on a platter, and serve.
