Tender Beetroot, Orange and Bulgar Wheat Salad

By: Laurence Guy

  • Start by boiling your washed beetroot, either red or golden is fine but a combination looks fantastic.
  • Cook your bulgar wheat until tender using about 30g of dried bulgar wheat per person.
  • Make a simple dressing with one part red wine vinegar to three parts olive oil adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Peel your cooked beetroot before slicing into rounds.
  • Compose the salad on a large plate using alternating rounds of beetroot and cut orange slices with a scattering of the bulgar wheat.
  • Drizzle over the dressing and finish with some freshly chopped parsley and mint if you have some available.

Honey Roasted Carrots with Garlic, Orange and Thyme

By: Laurence Guy

The easy and delicious carrot recipe can be serve hot with a main meal or left to cool a little before adding some crumbled feta and serving as a warm salad.
  • Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

  • Put the carrots in a roasting tray with the garlic cloves left in their skin.
  • Season with a pinch of salt, and drizzle with vegetable oil and runny honey.
  • Mix well in the roasting tray before placing in the oven for a good fifteen minutes or until beginning to soften.
  • Remove from the oven and add orange juice and thyme before adding back to the oven for a few minutes until cooked through and glazed.
