Creamy Braised Beet Greens

Creamy Braised Beet Greens is a great way to use greens that are a bit more on the tough, bitter side. Braising softens them perfectly, and using milk or a substitute creates a lovely, light pink broth that cuts through the bitterness. Delicious with a crusty bread, over polenta, or all on its own!
