Roasted Beets With Citrus Feta And Walnuts Recipes

ROASTED BEETS WITH CITRUS, FETA AND WALNUTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wipe or scrub the beets clean, then trim the stems down to one-inch, leaving the "tails" on. Place the beets on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Wrap the foil around the beets to form a neat packet, then roast directly on a rack in the middle of the oven until tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Unwrap the beets and let sit until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets by rubbing the skin under cool running water, then cut into 1/8-inch thin slices.
• In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and red wine vinegar. Toss beets, citrus, and dressing together in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter and Drizzle the juices from the bowl over top. Sprinkle feta, walnuts and scallions over top and serve.

ROASTED BEETS WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake beets in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once done, remove from oven, and allow to cool until you can handle them. Peel beets, and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• While the beets are roasting, whisk together shallot, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar in a bowl until blended; season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• To assemble the dish, place the warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish, pour vinaigrette over the beets, and sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.
