Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bunch small golden beets
- 1 bunch small red beets
- 2 tbsp cold-pressed olive oil
- Sea salt & pepper
- 2 oranges
- 2 tbsp red-wine vinegar
- 2 big handfuls rocket
- ½ cup crumbled feta
- ½ cup walnuts or hazelnuts
- Handful mint, roughly chopped
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Place golden beets on a large piece of baking paper. Place red beets on a separate piece of baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt. Fold beets up tightly and place them in the oven to roast for 45-50 mins or until a skewer comes out cleanly from the centre.
- When they are cooked through, allow them to cool and then the skins should remove easily.
- Peel pieces of orange zest from 1 orange. Finely slice them lengthways to create thin zest strips.
- To make the dressing, in a small bowl combine the juice of half an orange, vinegar, olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
- Slice the remaining oranges into thick slices and cut off the rind.
- Cut the red beets in half and place in a bowl. Cut the golden beets into halves and place them in another bowl. Drizzle them both in dressing and toss well.
- Add green leaves to a serving dish and top with orange slices and red and golden beets. Spoon some of the dressing over the top. Top with feta, walnuts, orange zest and mint.
