Roasted beetroot, pickled red onion and goat’s cheese salad

Serves: 6 - 8
Total Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

  • ROASTED BEETROOT

  • small bunch fresh beetroot, scrubbed and quartered
  • olive oil, to drizzle
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • PICKLED RED ONION

  • 2 red onions, peeled and sliced
  • 250ml (1 cup) boiling water
  • 60ml (¼ cup) red-wine vinegar
  • handful fresh dill, chopped + extra, to garnish
  • 2 x 100g logs goat’s cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds

Instructions

1

For the roasted beetroot, preheat the oven to 200˚C. Arrange the beetroot quarters on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season to taste. Roast in the preheated oven until soft, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and transfer to a large serving platter.

2

While the beetroot is roasting, make the pickled red onion. Place all the pickling ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil until the onion slices are cooked yet firm, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, strain and set aside.

3

Sprinkle the beetroot with the dill, then top with the pickled onion slices, crumbled goat’s cheese and sesame seeds. Garnish with extra dill and serve immediately.
