Week 1 Day 2: Beetroot and orange salad with griddled feta


Day 2... (picture coming soon)
This recipe is admittedly quite similar to yesterday’s, but I’m afraid I’ve had to become very waste-averse in my attempt to feed myself for £20/week…and when you’re cooking for one, ingredients often have to make repeat appearances in order to use them up. Apology aside, I do still think this is a really lovely recipe; the saltiness of the feta pairs brilliantly with the earthiness of the beetroot and the slight sweetness of the oranges.
 
Ingredients:
3 whole, cooked beetroot
1 orange
Large handful of watercress
Feta
Olive oil
 
Method:
· Remove the orange peel and slice thinly into rounds (horizontally across the segments.)
· Slice the beetroot in the same way.
· Heat a griddle pan to a high heat and add a little olive oil.
· Griddle the feta in one whole piece until dark griddle marks appear on the underside. Turn and repeat (a couple of minutes on each side, depending on how hot you can get your griddle.)
· Arrange the beetroot and orange slices on a plate, top with the watercress and place the feta piece on the top.
· Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and serve.
· If you want a little carbohydrate with this you can happily serve it with more quinoa as there will be some left over from this week’s meals… I just didn’t suggest this in the recipe as I thought three days of quinoa may seem a little too much for some!
