Recipe information
Yield
serves 4
Ingredients
5 small beets (about 1 pound), scrubbed, greens reserved and thinly sliced (to yield 1 cup)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large shallot, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Coarse salt
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Wrap beets in 2 or 3 packets of foil; bake until slightly soft to the touch (squeeze packets to test), about 45 to 60 minutes. Cool beets in packets, then rub off skins with paper towels (see page 73; use a paring knife for tough spots). Cut beets into 1/2-inch wedges.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beet greens; cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add beets and rosemary. Season with salt. Cook, stirring, until beets are just heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve hot.
