Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Thinly slice the beetroot to the thickness of a 10p. Drizzle with 1 tsp of oil and season. Lie flat on a non-stick baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes. Put to one side. Rub 1 tsp oil on the lamb, season well and sear in a non-stick frying pan, turning, until pink in the middle, about 8 minutes. Leave to sit in the warm pan while you assemble the salad.
  2. Arrange the watercress on 2 plates with the beetroot. Mix the dressing ingredients with 1 tbsp olive oil. Slice the lamb and divide between the salads. Drizzle over the dressing and top with the cheese.

    Absolutely delicious! I used rocket instead of watercress and diced lamb leg instead of fillet. The beetroot took a lot longer than 10 mins to cook. However, the final result was amazing!
