Roasted Beets and Sauteed Beet Greens image

Beetroot (US Beets) is not one of my DH's favorite veggie. In our local newspaper was a recipe that I just had to try as I love beetroot but don't get to eat them very often unless I go to a restaurant. If you like beetroots then you will love this recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch beet with greens
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or knob of butter)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Wash beets thoroughly leaving the skins on and remove the greens.
  • Rinse greens, removing any large stems and set aside. Place the beets in a small baking dish or roasting pan, and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. (If you want to peel the beets, it is easier to do so once they have been roasted).
  • Cover and bake for 45 to 60 mins, or until a knife can slide easily through the largest beet.
  • When the roasted beets are almost done, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add the garlic and onions, and cook for a few minutes.
  • Tear the beet greens into 2 to 3 inch pieces, and add them to the skillet.
  • Cook and stir until greens are wilted and tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Serve the greens as is, and the roasted beets sliced with either red-wine vinegar, or a knob of butter.
