Earthy beet greens become meltingly tender when simmered with sliced beets in broth. I add penne, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts to make a bunch of beets a satisfying meal in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • Golden beets, 1 bunch, greens attached (about 1 lb/500 g)
  • Olive oil

Method

  1. Separate the beets from their greens; discard the stems. Peel the beets and cut them into ¼-inch (6-mm) wedges. In a large bowl of cold water, wash the greens, then spin them dry in a salad spinner. Transfer the greens to a cutting board and chop them coarsely.
  2. In a large sauté pan, warm the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the beets and coriander seeds and
