Roasted Golden Beets with Quinoa and Feta
Makes 4 adult servings or about 6 kid servings
5 small golden beets, scrubbed
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup quinoa
1 ounce fresh spinach, stems removed, shredded
3 tablespoons raisins
3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Arrange the beets on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the beets until tender when pierced with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the beets stand until cool enough to handle, then use wet hands to slip the skins from the beets. Cut the beets into quarters.
Meanwhile, in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan, bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the quinoa and cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fold the spinach into the quinoa and set aside.
In a large bowl, fold the quinoa mixture, beets, raisins, and feta together and drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil and the lemon juice.
Divide the entire recipe into both adult and child-friendly portions. For adults, serve as is. For children, transfer to a food processor and puree or fork-mash, as appropriate.
