  1. UNBEETABLE ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. AU POIVRE SAUCE

    Boil the kettle. Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a knob of butter. Once melted, stir in the crushed black pepper, the stock, and 50ml of boiling water. Simmer until the sauce has reduced, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the crème fraîche. Season, add a sweetener (optional), loosen with a splash of water if too thick, and cover.

  3. SALAD TOSS UP

    In a bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the cucumber half-moons, the crumbled feta, 1⁄2 the picked oregano, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.

  4. EN GARDE!

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the swordfish dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. SWORDFISH IS SERVED!

    Plate up the swordfish and drizzle over the au poivre sauce. Side with the fresh salad and the roasted beetroot. Garnish with the remaining oregano. Perfection, Chef!
