Crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup(s), (60 ml)

Unsalted dry roasted pistachio nuts

Instructions

  1. Bring 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) water to a boil in a small saucepan; stir in bulgur. Cover pot and turn off heat; let bulgur sit 20 minutes. Drain bulgur well; spread on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 15 ml (1 Tbsp) oil, shallot, garlic, honey, kosher salt and pepper.
  3. Heat remaining 5 ml (1 tsp) oil in a large nonstick skillet; add beet stems and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add beet greens and cook, tossing, until just wilted, 1 minute; season lightly with salt.

  5. Serving size: 150 ml (2/3 cup)

Notes

One big bunch of beets should yield enough greens and stems for this recipe. We used leaves from different colored beets.
