Wash the beet well and make some deep incisions in it with a sharp paring knife

put it in a microwave proof dish and cover with a plastic wrap.

pop the plastic wrap with the knife once or twice

cook on high for 3 - 5 minutes

when it is done , it will be soft and buttery

peel off the outer layer and discard it ; chop the rest of the beet

take 1/2 C yogurt and put in the blender along with the beet and blend them well -almost like a puree

Now blanch the beet greens and shock them in cold water

Put the greens into a serving bowl, layer with some plain yogurt and then top it off with the beet root yogurt mix puree.

Serve with any grilled spicy dish. Or serve as a parfait for a snack.
