Ingredients

  • 600 g raw mixed-colour baby beets ideally with leaves
  • 4 clementines
  • ½ a bunch of fresh tarragon 15g
  • 100 g crumbly goat’s cheese
  • 40 g shelled unsalted walnut halves

Instructions

  • Reserving any nice smaller beet leaves, halve any larger beets and cook, covered, in a pan of boiling salted water for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, squeeze the juice of 1 clementine into a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and a good splash of red wine vinegar.
  • Peel the remaining 3 clementines, slice into fine rounds and arrange on your plates.
  • Drain the beets and briefly refresh in cold water until cool enough to quickly rub off the skins.
  • Halve or slice a few, then toss them all in the dressing.
  • Taste, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, then pick in the tarragon and toss with the reserved beet leaves.
  • Divide between your plates, crumble over the goat’s cheese and walnuts, and drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
