They reference marthastewart.com, but I couldn’t find it. Here is what I did.
3 medium beets with greens
1 t olive oil
1 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T rice wine vinegar, or other mild variety
½ t grainy mustard
Pinch of sugar
3 T extra virgin olive oil
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim stalks to ½ inch and wash beets and beet greens. Set beet greens aside.
Tightly seal beets in an aluminum foil pouch. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 35 minutes. Remove beets and let cool in pouch for 10 minutes. Place in fridge to cool completely.
Meanwhile heat the 1 t of olive oil, then add the garlic and cook 1 – 2 minutes to flavor the oil. Add the beet greens and toss occasionally until wilted, 5-7 minutes.
Mix vinegar, mustard and sugar. Slowly add extra virgin olive oil to make dressing.
Put greens on the serving dish, slice beets and place on top. Dribble with dressing and serve.
