Geraldine's Beet, Walnut and Goat Cheese Salad
  
                               4-6 (about 1 1/4 lb) small beetroot, scrubbed and scraped at the shoulders, and cut into 6-8 wedges  
1 tbsp of brown sugar  
1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar  
1/4 cup Apollo Mistral olive oil  
salt and freshly ground black pepper  
3/4 cup walnut pieces  
4 handfuls fresh arugula, coarse stems removed  
3 1/2 oz goat cheese  
                            
Preheat oven to 350F.  Place beetroot in a shallow roasting pan
lined with baking parchment.  Mix through sugar, vinegar and oil
and season with salt and pepper.  Spread out to a single layer and
roast 40 minutes or until tender and starting to shrivel.  Leave
in pan to cool.  
                            
TOAST walnuts in a separate roasting dish for 15 minutes at the
same temperature.  Add walnuts and arugula to cooled
beetroot  and toss to coat in pan oils.  
                             Divide between 4 serving plates.  Slice cheese over the top.  Don't mix in or the cheese will be dyed pink!  
                              
                            Back to top
