Ingredients

9 total
  • 450g jerusalem artichokes, halved lengthways
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 140g red chicory, halved or quartered if large
  • 160g baby chicory
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 (600g) jar butter beans
  • 1 handful dill sprigs
  • 120g feta

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 230°C/210°C fan/gas 8. In a large roasting tin, toss the jerusalem artichokes with 1 tbsp of the oil and a pinch of the sea salt. Spread them out in a single layer, cut-side down, and roast for 30 mins until starting to colour.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, put both types of chicory in a mixing bowl and toss with 1 tbsp each of oil and balsamic.

  3. Step 3

    After the 30 mins, add the chicory to the tin and cook for 10 mins more or until the jerusalem artichokes are looking blistered.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, warm the beans and their liquid in a pan over a medium heat. Remove to a platter with a slotted spoon. Sprinkle over the rest of the salt and most of the dill; drizzle over 1 tbsp oil and top with the veg.

  5. Step 5

    Crumble over the feta and finish with the remaining dill. Leftovers will keep in a chilled airtight container for 1-2 days – enjoy cold.
