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).
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.
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.
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.
