1/2 white onion, sliced
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
1 tsp (6 g) salt

1
Take off the beet tops and then separate the leaf from the stem. Wash both thoroughly.
2
Remove the ends of the stem on either side and then chop the stems.
3
Heat some oil in a pan over medium.
4
Add sliced onion. Stir.
5
Add the chopped beet stem.

Cook this down until both the onion and beet stem are tender, stirring frequently. As the greens become tender, season with a little salt and pepper. If you like, you can add a splash of vinegar or wine and reduce at the end of cooking.
