Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 150°C/130°C fan.

2

Place the walnuts on a baking tray and into the oven for 12-15 minutes, until darkened and fragrant. Remove and allow to cool before roughly chopping.

3

Place the beetroot into a saucepan with the water, balsamic and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25  minutes until the beetroot is tender and the liquid has reduced into a thickened, sticky glaze. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. If necessary, allow it to cook uncovered for the final few minutes to help the liquid reduce.

4

Squeeze the lemon juice and drizzle the olive oil over the rocket. Gently toss to coat.

5

Top with the beetroot, lentils, walnuts and goats cheese.
