Stir-Fried Beet Greens with Ginger and Green Chiles

 

3 tablespoons peanut or canola oil

1 fresh hot green chile, cut into long fine slivers

3 slices fresh ginger, cut into long fine slivers

1 pound beet greens, (no stems) cut crosswise into a chiffonade

1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste

 

Put the oil in a large pan and set over medium-high heat. When

hot, put in the chile and ginger. Stir a few times and put in the

beet greens. Stir a few times and then cover the pan. Turn the

heat down to low and cook until the leaves have wilted. Add the

salt and stir a few times. Add 4 tablespoons of water, bring to

boil, simmer, and cover. Cook on low heat for about 30 minutes or

until the greens are tender. Stir every now and then during this

period.
