Beet greens, with their dark green leaves and pungent, earthy flavor, are especially tasty with white beans. A nice alternative to beet greens is mustard greens, which are a little spicier.Other options are turnip greens and broccoli rabe. Start this dish a day ahead because the beans need to soak overnight.
