Cooking Steps

Roast the beetroot
1
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Peel the beetroot and cut it into 1 - 2cm thick wedges, then transfer to a bowl (see Tip).
  • Crush or mince the garlic and add half of it to the beetroot. Drizzle with half of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, tossing halfway.

Tip: beetroot can stain, so wear gloves or use a sandwich bag to hold it.

Cook the bulgur
2
  • Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount). Cook the bulgur for 10 - 12 minutes until done, then drain and set aside.
  • Slice the onion into half rings and transfer to an oven dish.
  • Add the chicken, oregano, the rest of the garlic and the rest of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well to combine.
  • Roast in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes, or until the chicken is done. 
Make the salad
3
  • Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley and the mint leaves (discarding the stalks). Dice the cucumber.
  • In a salad bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil with the white wine vinegar and the honey, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the fresh herbs and the cucumber, then toss well to combine with the dressing. 
  • Roughly chop the almonds.
Serve
4
  • Serve the bulgur, beetroot and cucumber on deep plates.
  • Slice the chicken breast and serve it on top of the bulgur, along with the onion.
  • Garnish with the almonds and the goat's cheese pearls.
  • Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil as preferred.
