Share on TwitterIn terms of execution this has been one of the hardest meals I have done in ages - I can't quite put my finger on why - maybe because there's 3 different elements to this. Larry saw a recipe for the beetroot salad in the paper a couple of weekends ago and asked me if I could make it for him - me being the eternal optimist said of course... so I did... I had no idea of what do with it though so here we have pan fried ocean trout, roast potato & sweet potato (yams) and roast beetroot & goats cheese salad.
The ocean trout was just fried in olive oil
The potato & yams were coated in oil and coriander and sesame dukah and roasted
The beetroot salad!
Cook a bunch of beetroots on a base of rock salt using (wrap bulbs in alfoil and place on a bed of 500g of rock salt - cook in a 160 Celcius oven for 45 minutes or until a knife goes through with no resistance) let cool - peel & dice. Mix 200ml of extra virgin olive oil with 30ml of red wine vinegar and some salt & pepper - use to dress the beetroot - scatter over goats cheese & chives
