Steps

  • Separate the leaves from the beetroot tops and reserve them.
  • Boil the whole beetroot in a saucepan of water for 30 to 45 minutes until tender.
  • Bring buffalo milk to a boil and whisk in lemon juice to separate the curds.
  • Strain the curds through a sieve and chill the solid cheese in the fridge.
  • Fry bread cubes with rosemary and thyme in 3 tablespoons of olive oil until golden.
  • Toss the bread with remaining oil and vinegar, then wilt the beetroot leaves with cumin seeds in the same pan.
  • Cut the cooled beetroot into chunks and mix with the bread, leaves, and remaining herbs.
  • Plate the salad, top with curd cheese, and garnish with dill and oregano sprigs.
