This recipe was inspired from Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals. I did a couple of things different from his recipe - and mine took quite a bit longer to make - but roasting beets is so worth it! This made enough for two - so just increase amounts if you have more mouths to feed.
3 medium to large beets, ends trimmed, then sliced into thirds
6 garlic cloves
1/2 inch thick sliced red onion, then sliced in half
salt and pepper
few sprigs of Fresh Rosemary
Olive oil
Feta Cheese
Dressing:
1 Tblsp. Red Wine Vinegar
salt and pepper
3 Tblsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
garnish with minced Italian Flat Leaf Parsley
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add all of the ingredients to a roasting pan, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with Olive oil, tossing to coat.
Roast for 1 hour until the beets are tender. Allow to cool, and remove the outer skin on the beets. Slice into small chunks. Squeeze out the roasted garlic into a food processor. Using a spatula, scrape the rest of the onions, oil, and rosemary into the food processor. Add the 3 Tblsp. of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the Red Wine Vinegar, salt and pepper - blending until smooth. Pour over the roasted beets, tossing to coat.
Top with crumbled feta cheese, and a sprinkling of minced Flat Leaf Italian Parsley, and serve at room temperature.
I LOVE JAMIE! - I know you do too 🙂 XO
He is the very very best of the best! 🙂
Yummmmmmmmmmmm,...What an inspiring beetroot & feta salad! I love all of these tasty flavours!
Red wine vinegar goes so well with beetroot, I agree! 🙂
I love beets any kind, cooked any way, and pickled is delicious too! 🙂
