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

Method

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.

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.

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.
