Beet Greens and baked chicken legs


Borrowed picture alert: I forgot to take a snap
so I found this one, which looks nicer anyway.




Who'd have thought it.  Turns out beet greens are yummy. Somehow I never got around to eating these my whole life. The greens were always like carrot tops, something to cut off and throw out (recycle now...).  My SO found this recipe (food.com), it's actually for roll-ups, although I made it more like our old favourite "Lazy-man's cabbage rolls". Instead of rolling up rice in the leaves, just sort of munge it all together.

Had this with the beets themselves, which I just love. Beets are so great, and it turns out they are high in vitamin c, folates, and potassium. I forgot how long it takes to cook these things, was a good 50 minutes boiling on the stove.

As for the chicken, it comes courtesy of our local fav butcher. What a great place - good prices and great quality. Anyway, dipped them in some Shake 'n Bake Original (seriously) and threw them on the bakeware tray.

Next time: use less sour cream, and don't overcook the chicken.
