Collard Stems & Beet Greens

So this is basically the polar opposite of the Dandelion Green post. Happy food discoveries. I got a bunch of collard greens at the farmer's market last weekend and used the greens in a jungle curry-like thing. Was going to chuck the stems in the worm bin, but figured I'd better see if they were eaten by people, and they are. So did a simple saute of garlic, chopped collard stems, and beet greens, with a little red sauce. Quite nice. I dig beet greens, alot of people don't eat think they are edible, so my guy at the farmer's market saves the beet tops for me. The best thing, when you cook them in cream they turn the cream pink. It's a cool, simple sauce.

FYI, I have been chucking carrot tops into the wormbin, but it looks like that isn't necessary, either. Frugality....
