In love with beets

Beets--I just can't get enough of them lately. Here is a simple, yet tasty recipe I've been enjoying:

Beets, Quinoa, and Goat Cheese Salad

3-5 beets, including green tops
oil
garlic
1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 cup goat cheese

1. Remove green tops and wash beets. Cover beets in water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 40 minutes, or until beets can be pierced with a fork. Once beets are cooked, peel skins and dice into bit-size pieces.

2. Wash and chop about 1/3 cup of beet greens to saute.

3. Saute oil, garlic, and greens until wilted. Remove from heat. Add diced beets, quinoa, and cheese. Toss and serve.

  1. I just bought goat cheese, and my beet greens need thinning. This is totally on my list for dinner tonight. Just need to work up the ambition to go buy some beets...

  2. Potato, caramelised leek & wilted spinach terrine with dill creme fraiche

    If you google this recipe and try, it is fantastic. PS How do you post recipes on the Hungry Haack's blog? it has been so long I have forgotten. Any help is appreciated!
