Directions


Heat over to 400℉ (200℃) F.
Put beetroot in mixing bowl with garlic, thyme, balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season well and put in roasting tin.
Cover with foil, tucking over the rim so tin is tightly sealed. Cook in oven for 1 hr or until beetroot is soft. Leave to cool.
Boil the beans for 5 minutes until tender. Run under cold tap to cool when done.
Combine beans with beetroot and juices, plus rocket, preserved lemon and onion. Add remaining lemon juice, oil. Season, then crumble goats cheese over the top.
