Categories     Salad     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pounds beets with greens
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces orzo pasta
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
kosher salt & freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the pine nuts in a dry skillet, over medium heat, until they begin to brown. Watch them carefully, as they will burn in a flash. Remove from the heat & transfer to a bowl. Set aside. Peel the beets & slice them into bite-sized pieces. Remove the stems from the beet greens & slice the leaves into strips. Wash the greens thoroughly to remove any grit. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion & garlic. Cook until the onions are tender & golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low & add the beet greens. Cover & cook, tossing occasionally, until the greens are wilted, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the beets in a pot of salted water, until just tender, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the beets from the pot using a slotted spoon & set aside. Return the water to a boil & add the pasta. Cook, according to the package instructions, until al dente & drain. Add the orzo to a bowl, along with the beets, pine nuts, beet greens & crumbled feta. Toss, season with salt & pepper to taste & serve. http://www.theparsleythief.com/2010/09/warm-orzo-salad-with-beets-greens.html

Warm Bok Choy, Beet and Feta Salad image

Straying from bok choy's usual Asian flair, this lovely bright pink salad has a rich feta flavor with a fresh clean finish. The bok choy provides a nice crunch while the beets keep the tones earthy, with the feta and garlic to sharpen the flavor.

Time 1h5m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 small beets, trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
4 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 heads baby bok choy, chopped
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 ½ teaspoons butter
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the beets, 1/4 of the chopped garlic, and the olive oil on a piece of heavy aluminum foil; fold the foil around the beets into a sealed packet.
  • Roast beets in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Let beets cool just until they can be handled, then rub with a paper towel to remove skins. Chop into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.
  • Heat the peanut oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bok choy and the remaining garlic together until bok choy is slightly softened but still crunchy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the beets and the feta. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh beets. If you don't have fresh beets, you can use canned beets, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips of beets. Just be careful not to slice your fingers.
  • Be sure to toast the orzo before adding it to the salad. This will give it a nutty flavor and make it more resistant to overcooking.
  • Don't overcook the orzo. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Add the greens to the salad just before serving. This will help prevent them from wilting.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, goat cheese, or chopped walnuts.

Conclusion:

This warm orzo salad with beets and greens is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants. The salad is also a good source of protein, thanks to the orzo and chickpeas. If you are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal that is easy to make, this warm orzo salad is a great option.
