Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 140°C.
  • Marinate the cheeses in a bowl with olive oil and thyme.
  • Caramelize sugar in a saucepan, add chopped beetroot for three minutes, then stir in balsamic vinegar.
  • Blend the mixture into a purée using a food processor.
  • Strain the purée through muslin, then mix the captured liquid with olive oil to create a dressing.
  • Season the purée and the dressing with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap baby beetroots and thyme in foil and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Peel the roasted beets once cooled.
  • Blot excess oil from the cheeses and glaze the tops with a blow torch until golden.
  • Toss the wild herbs in the beetroot dressing.
  • Plate by spreading the purée, adding herbs, topping with cheese, drizzling dressing, and sprinkling pine nuts.
