  • serves 4 people
  • cooking 50 minutes
  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized beetroots, left whole
  • 100 ml olive oil
  • 4 bay leaf
  • Salt
  • White pepper
  • 5 garlic chives, finely chopped
  • Handful chopped flat leaf parsley
  • Handful beetroot leaves, cooked
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 10 hazelnuts, toasted and crushed
  • ½ cup (or as desired) goats curd

Instructions

  1. Wrap beetroots individually in aluminium foil, each with 1 bay leaf, salt, pepper and olive oil. Steam for 45 minutes to 1 hour. They need to be soft enough to easily insert a skewer.
  2. When cool enough to handle, peel the beetroots and cut into wedges.
  3. For the salad, combine the beetroot with garlic chives, parsley, beetroot leaves, vinegar, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and half of the hazelnut.
  4. Put goats curd on the plate and top with beetroot salad. Sprinkle the remaining hazelnut and drizzle with olive oil.
