BEETROOT JEWELS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and becoming crispy.
HONEY WALNUTS
Thoroughly grease a flat tray or dish. Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Set aside and return the pan to the heat. Add the honey and the cinnamon, and mix until fully combined. Allow to bubble for 2 minutes until foamy and darker in colour, swirling the pan occasionally. Don’t let it cook for too long, or it’ll burn! Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1 tsp of butter – be careful, it’ll be hot. Working quickly, mix in the walnuts until coated. Evenly pour onto the greased tray, sprinkle with salt, and pop in the fridge to cool.
GET DRESSED!
When the beetroot is done; in a salad bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice, 10ml of olive oil, and some seasoning. Add the roasted beetroot, the pear wedges, and the sliced onion (to taste). Toss until fully combined.
