Ingredients

  • Olive Oil: 5 tbsp olive oil
  • Beetroot: 6 raw medium beetroot, about the size of a tangerine (a couple of different varieties, if you can get them)
  • Balsamic Vinegar: 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • White Wine Vinegar: 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Watercress: small bunch watercress, picked into small sprigs
  • Tarragon: 1 handful fresh tarragon leaves
  • Goat'S Cheese: 250g soft fresh goat's cheese

Directions

  1. Wash the beetroot and put them in a pan of salted water with the white wine vinegar. Boil for 30-40 minutes or until tender - when pricked with a skewer there should be no resistance. Drain and leave to cool slightly, then peel - wear a pair of washing up gloves to stop your hands from turning pink.
  2. Cut each beetroot in half and then into wedges and arrange on a large platter. Drizzle the warm beetroot with half the balsamic vinegar and half the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 3 Just before serving, break the goat's cheese into pieces over the beetroot and sprinkle on the tarragon, watercress and remaining vinegar and oil.
