Beetroot Salad
- 1 beetroot
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 teaspoons vinegar Balsamic or brown malt Salt and freshly milled black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- lamb's lettuce or baby lettuce leaves, washed
- lemon
- mustard dressing
- 100 grams goat
- cheese
- 1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
- Wash beetroot, try not to damage skins. Cut away leaves, leaving 3 cm stem (this stops the beetroot bleeding). Place beetroot into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat then simmer until tender about 3/4 to 1 hour. When cooked, drain and cool under cold running water then slip away the skins. Slice beets and place in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle over the sugar and vinegar then season with salt, freshly milled pepper and a tiny pinch nutmeg.
- Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Arrange lettuce onto individual plates, then add beetroot and sliced goat's cheese. Drizzle over the dressing then sprinkle with nuts.
