BEET IT!
Place the beetroot chunks in a pot of salted water over a medium heat. Bring it up to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until easily pierced with a fork. Drain on completion.
ZEST ‘EM UP
Place the halved baby tomatoes in a bowl. Add the lemon zest (to taste), lemon juice (to taste), and some seasoning. Toss to combine and set aside.
GO NUTS
Place the almonds in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
MAK-E DE MEATBALL
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs for 4-5 minutes, shifting as they colour. The meatballs should be browned, but not cooked through. Drain most of the oil from the pan, then add the sweet chilli and 50ml of water. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and the sauce has almost evaporated.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
Add the sliced radish, the rinsed green leaves and the soft beetroot to the bowl with the marinated tomatoes. Toss with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt, ½ of the chopped parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoning.
DINNER TIME
Plate up the loaded salad, and top with the meatballs. Drizzle over any pan juices and dollop over the yoghurt. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds and garnish with the remaining parsley. Well done, Chef!
