Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 bunches beets (3 to 4 pounds with greens), greens removed, chopped, washed, and drained with some water clinging (about 9 cups greens)
2 pork tenderloins (12 ounces each), trimmed of excess fat
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Loosely wrap beets in a 12-by-20-inch piece of foil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until easily pierced with a knife, 35 to 45 minutes. When cool to touch, grab beets with a paper towel and slip off skins. Reserve one beet; halve and slice remaining beets. Set aside.
  • Season pork generously with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until pork registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 14 to 16 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the reserved beet and 1 tablespoon oil; process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (or strainer) lined with cheesecloth into a small bowl to yield 4 teaspoons juice; discard solids. Add mustard, 2 teaspoons vinegar, and 2 tablespoons oil; whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon of oil over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and golden, about 1 minute. Add beet greens, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove greens from heat and discard garlic. Add reserved beets and remaining tablespoon of vinegar, and toss to combine.
  • To serve, top sauteed greens with toasted pine nuts. Drizzle a little of the beet vinaigrette on the plate and top with sliced pork.

SAUTEED BEETS & GREENS



Sauteed Beets & Greens image

This is a lovely, simple way to prepare fresh beets and greens. The beetroot is cubed and cooked until tender and sauteed with the greens in butter, olive oil and garlic. My husband and I love beets, especially when cooked this way. The last time we prepared this dish, we used golden beets and enjoyed the contrast of the golden-yellow chopped beetroot against the lush greens. What we love most about beets is that it is one of the very few vegetables, which the entire plant can be utilized. Plus the health benefits are plentiful!
