PREP TIME: 40 MINS
COOK TIME: 40 MINS
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS:
- 100g black lentils, soaked overnight
- 3 large beetroots, washed and trimmed
- 60ml olive oil
- 60ml apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp raw honey or pure maple syrup
- Finely grated zest of 2 oranges
- 1 cup rocket, washed
- ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 40g hazelnuts, toasted
- 150g goat’s cheese
1.
Preheat oven to 200C
Rinse and drain lentils, then place in a saucepan and cover with water.
2.
Bring to the boil over a medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10-20 minutes until tender.
3.
When the lentils are almost cooked, add 1 teaspoon salt and continue to simmer until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water, then place in a large bowl.
4.
Wrap beetroot in foil and place on a baking tray. Roast for 40 minutes or until well cooked through.
