🧂 Ingredients

1½ pounds your choice of protein, boneless and butterflied (leg of lamb, beef or pork tenderloin, or chicken breasts or thighs)
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
handful of fresh thyme sprigs (or other herbs of your choice)
1-2 cups chopped beet greens or chard (about 60-80 grams or 2-3 ounces)
pepper, to taste

Instructions

1 First, preheat oven to 450 F.
2 Next, salt and pepper the meat. Place garlic, thyme sprigs, and greens on one
end of the butterflied meat. Roll all of this into a spiral and then place in a
loaf pan to keep it from unrolling. Roast at 450F for 15 to 20 minutes, then
350F for an extra 30 to 35 minutes (more time may be needed for larger roasts).
