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
- 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.
- When cool enough to handle, peel the beetroots and cut into wedges.
- For the salad, combine the beetroot with garlic chives, parsley, beetroot leaves, vinegar, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and half of the hazelnut.
- Put goats curd on the plate and top with beetroot salad. Sprinkle the remaining hazelnut and drizzle with olive oil.
