Butternut and beetroot are a match made in heaven and with creamy goats’ cheese added, it becomes a flavour explosion like no other. This recipe by Heleen Meyer is definitely a showcase of a synergy of flavours, colours and textures. You either love or hate the unique tart and tangy flavour of goat’s cheese, but in this recipe, the slightly ‘wilder’ flavour of this cheese perfectly offsets the sweetness of the roasted butternut and beetroot. If you’re indeed, not a fan of goat’s cheese, a soft feta, pecorino or ricotta cheese can work just as well. The peppery flavour of rocket adds another layer and the nuttiness and touch of spice from the dukkah is all you need for a special platter of yumminess.
