1 bunch beets with greens
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tbs chopped onion (optional)
1 tbs red wine vingegar (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Wash beets thoroughly. Do not peel. Remove the greens. Rinse the greens and remove large stems. Tear into 2-3 inch pieces.
Toss beets with 2 tbs olive oil. Place in a small baking dish. Cover and bake for 45-60 minutes, until a knife can slice the largest beet easily.

A short time before you need to serve them, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet. Add garlic and onion and cook for a minute. Add beet greens. Stir over heat until greens have wilted and are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve beets with red wine vinegar, as is or with butter, salt and pepper. Serve greens as they are.
