Salads
Ingredients
- 4-5 small red beets, with greens
- 2 tablespoons Fustini's Robust SELECT olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fustini's Pomegranate balsamic
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ounces Roquefort cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils
Ingredients
Directions
- Remove beet greens and reserve. Wash beets and cook in simmering water until easily pierced with a thin knife (about 15-20 minutes, depending on beet size). Transfer to a non-staining cutting board. When cool, peel and cut beets into quarters, or smaller if beets are large.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet on medium-high. Add quartered beets and Pomegranate balsamic. Carefully mix with a spatula, coating beets with oil-vinegar glaze, until vinegar evaporates completely and beets are caramelized. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Wash, pat dry and roughly chop beet greens. In another skillet, sauté, greens in remaining olive oil 3-5 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide beets and beet greens among 4 plates alongside meat or another main course, sprinkle with cheese and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and pomegranate arils.
