Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

350 g baby beetroot, peeled and cubed
200 g baby leeks, sliced and washed
2 t cumin
500 ml vegetable or chicken stock
125 ml sherry vinegar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 fresh burrata balls
35 g petite herb or microherbs, to garnish
115 g almonds nuts or water chestnuts, to garnish
4 T extra virgin olive oil
For the apple-and-radish salsa:
2 Granny Smith apples
150 g radishes
1/2 lemon, juiced

Method

Place the beetroot, leek and cumin in a large saucepan and toss to coat the vegetables with the cumin.

Add the stock and simmer over a medium heat until the beetroot is tender.

Transfer to a food processor and blend until smooth.

Return the smooth beetroot soup to the saucepan, add the sherry vinegar and season to taste.

To make the apple-and-radish salsa, thinly slice the apples and radishes into matchsticks using a sharp knife. Place in a mixing bowl and add the lemon juice.

To serve, place the soup in a large bowl and tear in the burrata. Sprinkle over the apple-and-radish salsa and garnish with the microherbs and crumbled chestnuts. Drizzle over the extra virgin olive oil.

Cook's note: burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. Find it at Italian delis, but if you can't find it, use regular mozzarella instead.
