1/3 cup pine nuts
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 large onions, quartered lengthwise through root end, sliced crosswise (about 4 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 bunches 2-inch-diameter golden beets with fresh healthy greens; beets peeled, each cut into 8 wedges, greens cut into 1-inch-wide strips
12 ounces farfalle (bow-tie pasta)

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     side dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 pounds beets, with their greens if possible
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 pounds Swiss chard
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 to 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 to 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Trim the stalks from the beets and place them, in their skins, on a sheet of aluminum foil. Bake them for about an hour and a half, or until they are tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Cool and slip off the skins and cut the beets in one-and-a-half-inch cubes.
  • Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a small pan and roast them until they are golden (about 10 minutes).
  • Remove the stalks from Swiss chard and beet greens. Saute Swiss chard leaves and beet greens in the peanut oil or vegetable oil until wilted, which will have to be done in two batches. Place in a serving dish and keep warm if serving right away.
  • Combine the olive oil with the garlic, mustard and vinegar. Press down on the garlic with the tines of a fork to extract the juice. Remove the garlic and season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the dressing over the beets, toss and correct seasoning. Place the beets on top of the greens and sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve warm or at room temperature; do not refrigerate.

Parmesan Encrusted Pine Nuts image

I recently visited a fancy restaurant that served Parmesan encrusted pine nuts in their Caesar salad. This is my near-perfect attempt to replicate these delicious salad toppers. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce, shredded Parmesan cheese, dressing, mixed croutons, and these pine nuts. They are sweet, savory, nutty, and delicious.

ROASTED BEETS WITH TOASTED PINE NUTS AND ARUGULA



Roasted Beets With Toasted Pine Nuts and Arugula image

Make and share this Roasted Beets With Toasted Pine Nuts and Arugula recipe from Food.com.

Provided by ITsyBItsy

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h25m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb medium beet, tops and bottoms trimmed
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
salt
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (not extra-virgin)
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon minced shallot
1 1/2 quarts loosely packed arugula, stems trimmed (about 5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss together the beets, cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large bowl. Wrap each beet separately in aluminum foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook the beets until soft and easily pierced with a paring knife or skewer, about 1 hour. Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them by rubbing them with a paper towel-the skin should slide right off. Cut each beet into 6 or 8 wedges.
  • Toast the pine nuts in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until light golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Process the remaining olive oil, sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, mustard, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper in a blender until fully emulsified, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in shallot and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Toss the beets with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette in a medium bowl.
  • Toss the arugula with the remaining vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Divide the arugula equally among chilled salad plates and top with the beets. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets. Look for beets that are small to medium in size, with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody.
  • Roast the beets whole. This will help them retain their moisture and flavor. Simply scrub the beets clean, trim the greens, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until they are tender.
  • Let the beets cool before handling. Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling. This will prevent them from staining your hands.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Roasted beets can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, goat cheese, crumbled bacon, or a balsamic reduction. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.

Conclusion:

Roasted beets are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and they can be a healthy addition to any diet. With their earthy flavor and vibrant color, roasted beets are sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new side dish, give roasted beets a try. You won't be disappointed!
