Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Loosely wrap beets in parchment-lined foil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly; remove skins. Slice beets. Set aside.

Transfer skillet to oven and roast until pork registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk mustard and vinegar in a bowl. Gradually whisk in 6 tablespoons olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste; set aside.

Add beet greens, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove greens from heat.

SAUTéED BEET GREENS WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL
Beets are available and good year round, but their season is June through October, when they are at their most tender. Look for unblemished bulbs with sturdy, unwilted greens. Whatever type of beets you buy, always buy them with the greens attached. Then you get two vegetables for the price of one, and greens add a whole set of nutrients to the picture, most notably beta-carotene, vitamin C, iron, and calcium. You can often get beet greens for free at the farmers' market because some people ask the vendors to chop off the tops when they buy their beets. This simple recipe (which can be used for any type of green) is great on its own as a side dish, or you can toss the greens with pasta, add them to an omelet or risotto, or use them in a gratin or a quiche.

ROASTED BEETS AND SAUTEED BEET GREENS
Beetroot (US Beets) is not one of my DH's favorite veggie. In our local newspaper was a recipe that I just had to try as I love beetroot but don't get to eat them very often unless I go to a restaurant. If you like beetroots then you will love this recipe.

SIMMERED BEET GREENS WITH ROASTED BEETS, LEMON AND YOGURT
The Greeks serve this dish as a salad, and it's one that I never failed to order at lunch when I spent 10 days on the Greek island of Ikaria, known for the longevity of its population. If you want to make a meal of this, serve the greens and beets with a whole grain, like barley or quinoa. The authentic dish includes much more olive oil than this one. If the beets you find at the farmers' market or the store don't have a generous bunch of greens attached, ask the vendor or the head of the produce department for greens they have cut away for other customers. They've probably got a box full of them in the back.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the greens away from the beets, leaving about 1/4 inch of stems. Scrub the beets and place in a baking dish or lidded ovenproof casserole. Add 1/4 inch water to the dish. Cover tightly. Place in the oven and roast small beets (3 ounces or less) for 30 to 40 minutes, medium beets (4 to 6 ounces) 40 to 45 minutes, and large beets (8 ounces) 50 to 60 minutes, until easily penetrated with the tip of a knife. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the covered baking dish. Cut away the ends and slip off the skins. Slice or cut in wedges and set aside.
- While the beets are in the oven, stem the greens and wash in at least 2 changes of water. Place in a bowl.
- Heat a large, wide skillet over high heat and add the greens by the handful, stirring each handful until the greens wilt in the water left on the leaves after washing. Once one batch has wilted, add another until all of the greens are wilted. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, turn the heat down to low, season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. The greens should be tender but still bright. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, toss the greens in the pan, taste and adjust seasoning. (Note: if you are not serving this right away, don't add the lemon juice, as it will change the bright color of the greens; instead, add shortly before serving).
- At this point you have the option of transferring the greens to a platter or serving the dish right from the pan. Whether in the pan or on a platter, arrange the beets on top of the greens. Drizzle on the remaining olive oil and squeeze on more lemon juice to taste. Mash the garlic to a purée with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle and stir into the yogurt. Place spoonfuls of yogurt over the top of the beets and beet greens, sprinkle on the walnuts and serve, with grains if desired.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SAUTéED BEET GREENS AND ROASTED BEETS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Loosely wrap beets in a 12-by-20-inch piece of parchment, then wrap packet in foil.

Reserve 1 beet; halve and slice remaining beets.
- Season pork all over with 2 teaspoons salt, dividing evenly, and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until an instantread thermometer inserted in middle reaches 138°F, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly.

Add mustard, 2 teaspoons vinegar, and 2 tablespoons oil; whisk to combine.

Tips:
- Choose tender beet greens: Look for young, vibrant beet greens with no signs of wilting or yellowing. Avoid greens that are large and tough.
- Wash the beet greens thoroughly: Beet greens can be gritty, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before cooking. Rinse them well under cold water, swishing the greens around to remove any dirt or debris.
- Trim the beet greens: Remove the tough stems from the beet greens before cooking. To do this, hold the greens by the stem end and use a sharp knife to cut off the leaves. You can also use scissors to trim the greens.
- Cook the beet greens quickly: Beet greens cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Overcooked beet greens will become mushy and lose their vibrant color.
- Season the beet greens well: Beet greens have a slightly bitter flavor, so it's important to season them well. Salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon juice are all good options.
Conclusion:
Sautéed beet greens with roasted beets and pork tenderloin is a delicious and nutritious dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The beet greens are tender and flavorful, the beets are sweet and earthy, and the pork tenderloin is juicy and succulent. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
