Shaved Baby Beets With Greens

• 1 pound red and gold baby beets with greens attached
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• Wedge of Parmesan

1. Cut off the beet greens and reserve. Scrub the beets. Using a mandoline or knife, cut the beets into paper-thin slices. Place them in a large bowl and toss with the oil, lemon juice, and salt. Set aside.
2. Trim the stems from the greens and discard. Wash the leaves. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a skillet. Add the greens and blanch until wilted and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drain.
3. Meanwhile, bring the vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes (makes about 1/4 cup). Set aside.
4. Divide the greens among 4 plates. Top them with the fresh beet salad and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. Garnish with Parmesan shavings.
