Sage	1 sprig
Lemon juice, fresh	1 teaspoon
Swiss chard, stems discarded, leaves chopped	1 pound

1. In a large saucepan, combine the beet and potato. 
2. Add enough water to cover by 2-inches, and bring to a boil over high heat. 
3. Cook until the beet and potato are tender, about 35 minutes; drain well and cool. 
4. Peel and coarsely chop the beet and potato, and then transfer to a food processor. 
5. Add 2-tablespoons butter, and puree until smooth. 
6. Season with salt and pepper; keep warm. 
7. Heat a large cast-iron skillet.

9. Cook over moderately high heat until golden brown on the bottom, about 7 to 8 minutes. 
10. Turn the chops, and add the garlic, sage, and 2-tablespoons butter. 
11. Cook until the chops are golden and the thickest part registers 135F, about 7 minutes longer. 
12. Transfer the chops to a plate, and let stand for 5 minutes. 
13. Whisk the juice and 2-tablespoons butter into the skillet; season with salt. 
14. Strain the sage butter through a fine sieve over the chops; reserve the crispy sage leaves and discard the garlic. 
15. In a large skillet, melt 2-tablespoons butter with 2-tablespoons oil. 
16. Add the chard in large handfuls; let each batch wilt slightly before adding more. 
17. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the chard is wilted, 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. 
18. Serve the pork chops with the beet puree and Swiss chard, and garnish with the sage leaves.
