1/2 medium onion, sliced
-
2 clove garlic, crushed/minced

1 Tbsp bacon grease

1. In your cast iron skillet, caramelize the onion in the bacon grease. Meanwhile, stack and roll a handful of leaves, cut lengthwise once and then chop (1/2") crosswise.
2. Remove the onion to the side, dump all of your leaves into the skillet, stir until they begin to wilt, reduce heat, add 1/2-3/4 C of water and cover. Stir every two to three minutes. When they are tender enough for your liking, add the garlic, onion and steak seasoning (here in SET, we use TexJoy). Remove from heat.
Beets and Greens
Prep Time: 10 minutes, Cook Time 30 minutes, Ready in 40 minutes
Recipe By:Carolyn Bunkley
"Roasted beet pieces nestled among their sauteed greens makes a beautiful, delicious side dish. If yellow beets are available, double the recipe using a bunch of red and a bunch of yellow -- gorgeous! My brother spent 50 years hating beets, but he loves them prepared this way. I think these go especially well with pork or chicken. This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or expanded to whatever amount you need without
adding very much to the preparation time."
Ingredients
-
1 bunch beets - trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached,
greens washed and reserved
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
-
sea salt (optional)
-
fresh-ground black pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
-
Rub the beets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place onto prepared baking sheet. Place in preheated oven, and bake until the beets can be easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 60 minutes depending on size. When done, allow to cool on the baking sheet until cool enough to handle, then remove and discard the skin, and cut the beets into wedges or slices.
-
Meanwhile, cut the beet greens in to 1/4 inch wide ribbons. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until it begins to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Once the onions have begun to caramelize, stir in the beet greens and cook until they wilt. Add the beet slices and continue cooking until heated through. Season with sea salt and pepper before serving.

Difficulty: Moderate. To prepare the following potato dish, you will
boil potatoes and use the potato water to make gravy. Then, using
five other ingredients, you stir flour with milk, boil some more,
and flavor with butter, salt, and pepper.
Active Time: 20 minutes.
Start to Finish: 40 minutes.
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: 3 pounds new potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces; water to cover the potatoes; 2 teaspoons salt; 2/3 cup flour; 2/3 cup milk; 1/2 stick butter, optional; 1 teaspoon pepper, optional.
Steps: 1. Prepare the potatoes for boiling. Place them in a saucepan and add water until the potatoes are covered. Add the salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer the potatoes about 20 minutes, or until they are almost tender to the center. To check for doneness, remove one potato from the pot, cut it in half, and take a look.
2. As the potatoes simmer, pour the flour into a medium-size mixing bowl. Slowly starting in the center, use a whisk to pour and mix in the milk. Do not pour the milk in all at once. At first, with a small amount of milk, the flour will ball up, get sticky, and then, as you slowly add additional milk, it will soften. Finally, it will be about the thickness of pancake batter. This is a cold roux. Now pour about half of the water from the potatoes into the cold roux and whisk.
3. With the potatoes still simmering, if using, add the butter and pepper, and then slowly pour the roux into the pot. Add just enough of the roux to thicken the water to the consistency of gravy. If the gravy is too thin, add more roux; if it gets too thick, add milk or water.
Serving: Serve with meatloaf, greens, and cornbread.
NEW POTATOES AND GRAVY
Fresh from our Garden
"You know I love mountain foods, and on that day we must have had at least 10 desserts, 10 main dishes, and 10 salads. Included were killed lettuce, fresh turnip greens, three kinds of pinto beans, new potatoes and gravy, preserved peaches, tea, lemonade and sugar-free lemonade, chow chow, pickled beets, pickle relish, and cornbread made with stone-ground cornmeal. The desserts included a stack cake, cookies, bars, crisps, and quick breads. Of special interest to me was a rhubarb cobbler."
