Ingredients
- 1 sm red onion thinly sliced White wine vinegar as needed
- 8 sm golden brown and/or possibly Chioggia beets - (to 12) including greens Red wine vinegar as needed

- 4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil - (to 6 tbspns) Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
Directions
- Toss onion with white wine vinegar nearly to cover and chill to crisp and color till needed, 20 to 25 min.
- Trim beets, leaving 1 inch of stems and tails. Reserve greens. Steam beets till a knife pierces them easily, 15 to 20 min. Slip off skins with your hands. Trim tops and tails and quarter beets. Sprinkle with a little red wine vinegar. Steam greens till tender, then chill.
- Toast pine nuts in dry skillet over medium heat till golden brown, 5 - 10 min, then remove to a plate. Cover bread with 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar. Lb. garlic in mortar with salt till smooth, then add in vinegar-soaked bread, marjoram, parsley and half pine nuts. Lb. into a fragrant paste. Stir in extra virgin olive oil to make a thick dressing (add in the larger amount if you want more of salsa verde), and season with pepper.
- Toss beets with sauce. Place beets on individual plates or possibly single platter with greens. Remove onion slices from vinegar and strew them over beets. Garnish with remaining pine nuts and serve.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: You can concentrate just on beets for this or possibly combine them with a host of other foods, like potatoes, roasted peppers and hard-boiled Large eggs. This sauce goes well with everything. Use a good aged red wine vinegar if you have it.
