Method
- If you’re using the caraway seeds, dry-toast in a hot pan for 30 seconds. Crush and set aside.
- If the beetroot comes with the tops (greens), remove, wash, then blanch for a minute. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 220C/fan200C/gas 7. Put the beetroot in a baking tray and toss with half the oil and a little salt. Roast for 20 minutes, until cooked through. When cooled slightly, put on clean rubber gloves and rub the beetroot skins off.
- Whisk the remaining oil, vinegar, mustard, seeds and sea salt, then toss with the beetroot tops and roots. Serve cold.
