- pan
- cutting board
- knife
- 3 each beets and greens
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 tablespoon feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
-
Rinse the beets and greens, removing the dirt from the beets with a vegetable scrubbing brush. Cut the greens and stems from the beets, keep them refrigerated.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the beets on a sheet pan with paper or in a casserole dish. Bake until they are tender, 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Pop them or peel them out of their skins and dice them.
-
Cut the stems into small pieces and cut the leaves into large diced pieces. Saute the stems and leaves in a little olive until they turn bright green, about 5 minutes.
-
Place the greens on a plate. Top with diced beets and crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle with olive oil and vinegar. Serve warm.
It is a nice touch to add a few fresh greens like frisee or arugula.
