Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins Ready Time: 50 mins


• place the beets into a saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch; bring to a boil. reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the beets are easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
• meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving the bacon drippings in the skillet. roughly chop the bacon and set aside.
• add the drained beets and red swiss chard to the reserved bacon drippings; cover the skillet, place over medium heat, and cook until the chard is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. stir the chopped bacon and frozen peas into the beet mixture; continue cooking until the peas are cooked through, about 5 minutes. sprinkle the feta cheese over the mixture; stir. serve hot.
