2 individual goat’s cheese with rind, about 90-100g each to serve

DRESSING

Method

STEP 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C /gas 5. Mix all the dressing ingredients with some freshly ground pepper and salt. Reserve 1 tbsp of the dressing for later. Pile the sliced beetroots, carrots, parsnips and onion into 2 individual shallow baking dishes. Drizzle over the rest of the dressing, then toss together so everything is well coated. Roast for 30-35 minutes, until all the veg is almost tender.
