At first I thought you were looking for recipes for preparing them for your mother, who does not like beet greens, and I was stumped, because I do not know a way to make them not beet greens. Kind of makes me think of my father-in-law, who hates turkey, and for some perverse reason takes charge of the turkey every thanksgiving to try to make it suit his tastes, which is impossible, because it's still turkey. LOL.
Beet greens are pretty bitter. I like to sautee greens with garlic. For beet greens, I would mix them with a mild green like spinach or kale to cut down the intensity. I sautee them in a wok, then add minced garlic when they're about half wilted. (To get a reasonable meal out of them, you need to pile them high in the wok and then wait until they wilt a bit to start stirring them.) Lots of garlic. Delicious. I also think sesame seeds are a great idea.
