Ingredients

8 total
  • 300g plain flour
  • 2 tsp salt, plus 1 pinch
  • 400g golden beetroot, scrubbed
  • 90g baby leaf salad
  • 150g raspberries
  • 100g goat’s cheese
  • 40g walnut halves
  • ½ tbsp (approx.) truffle honey (or regular honey), for drizzling

Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Mix the flour and salt with 150ml cold water to form a dough. Roll it out to 3mm thick, then use it to wrap each beetroot individually, ensuring that each one is completely sealed. Place on a baking tray; bake for 45 mins-1 hr 15 mins, depending on size. Check if they’re cooked by pushing in a thin skewer – there should be no resistance. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Once cool, crack open the dough, remove the beetroot and peel the skins. Cut into wedges or slices.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange the salad leaves on a platter with the beetroot and raspberries. Crumble over the goat’s cheese and scatter with the walnuts. Drizzle over a little raspberry coulis and honey, then season with a pinch of sea salt and some black pepper.
