Cooking Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C.
  2. Place the beetroot on a roasting try, drizzle with canola oil and roast in the oven for 40 mins to 1 hour.  Place a skewer into the beetroot to make sure it is soft.
  3. Remove from the oven and place in a bowl, cover the bowel with plastic wrap and leave the beetroot to sweat for 30 minutes.  Take off the plastic wrap and peel off the beetroot skins.
  4. Cut Beetroot in half and each half into 3 wedges.
  5. Cut the pomegranate in half, remove the seeds and sprinkle generously around the beetroot.
  6. Garnish the platter with the basil leaves.
  7. To make the vinaigrette: place the balsamic vinegar in a bowl with the salt and honey.  Whisk well. In a very slow and steady stream add the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. 
  8. Serve the beetroot at room temperature and dressed just before serving.
