WARM ORZO SALAD WITH BEETS & GREENS image

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

The salad was a bit too expensive for my taste. I think I could have found a similar salad at a lower price.

The salad was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less arugula.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The roasted beets were sweet and tender, and the goat cheese added a nice tang.
