ROASTED BEET GREENS AND FETA

Course Vegetables
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 6 tbs. olive oil
  • 2 1/2 tbs. red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbs. minced Garlic
  • 7 medium-large beets (about 3-inches in diameter) with greens
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbs. capers chopped drained
  • 3/4 cup feta cheese crumbled (about 3oz)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk oil, vinegar, and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season dressing generously with salt and pepper
  • Cut green tops off beets; reserve tops. Arrange beets in single layer in 13x9x2-inch baking dish; add 1 cup water. Cover; bake until beets are tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Peel beets while warm. Cut beets in half and slice thinly. Transfer to large bowl. Mix in capers and 1/4 cup dressing. Season with salt and pepper
  • Cut stems off beet greens; discard stems. Wash greens. Transfer greens, with some water still clinging to leaves, to large pot. Stir over high heat until just wilted but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Drain greens; squeeze out excess moisture. Cool; chop coarsely.
  • Transfer greens to medium bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  • Arrange beets in center of platter. Surround with greens; sprinkle with feta. Drizzle with any remaining dressing.
