Ingredients

  • 3 beets with greens attached
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. fresh cracked pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. dry mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. goat cheese (I used herbed goat cheese, feta works too)
  • 2 Tbsp. roasted pistachios, lightly crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F (218° C).
  • Cut greens off beets and set aside.
  • Wash beets and scrub well to remove dirt. Wrap beets loosely in foil and place on a pan in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until beets are soft and a knife can easily be inserted into the middle.
  • Rinse greens and rip into 1" pieces, discarding the large middle stem. Set greens aside.
  • Once beets have cooled enough to handle, rub skin off using a paper towel or kitchen towel. Cut beets into 1/2" wedges.
  • During the last 10 minutes that the beets cook, sauté onion in oil or butter for 4-5 minutes over medium heat until softened and translucent. Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes longer. Add beet greens and cook for 4-5 minutes until wilted. Add sliced beets, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and dry mustard. Toss to mix in.
  • Place beets and greens in a serving dish and garnish with goat cheese crumbles and pistachios. Serve immediately.
