Unwrap garlic and place in a blender with almond butter, vinegar and 3 tablespoons broth and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Rinse reserved beet tops well.
Thinly slice stems and leaves.
Place in a medium skillet with remaining 2 tablespoons broth and cook over medium heat, covered, stirring frequently, until tender, about 6 minutes.
