Marinated beetroot with grilled goat's cheese

Ingredients

6 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp thyme leaves
4 raw beetroot, peeled and very thinly sliced on a mandoline or with a food processor slicing attachment
2 x 100g vegetarian goat's cheese rounds with rind, halved horizontally
4 handfuls rocket

Method

1. Mix the oil, vinegar, sugar and thyme in a shallow dish and season well. Add the sliced beetroot and marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight, if you like.

2. Heat grill to high. Season the goat’s cheese slices, then place on an oiled baking tray and grill for 2-3 mins until golden and melting.

3. Lift out the beetroot, reserving the marinade, and divide between 4 plates. Top with the rocket, a round of goat’s cheese and a little more rocket. Drizzle with the marinade and serve.
