Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.

  2. Place the chestnut mushrooms and beetroot onto a large oven tray and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, some salt, black pepper and the chopped chilli. Toss together then place into the oven to roast for 15 minutes until just tender.

  3. Scatter the kale over a large oven tray and drizzle with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, some salt, black pepper and the crushed chilli flakes. Toss together, massaging the oil into the kale until totally coated.

  4. Place the kale tray in the oven for 5 minutes until just crispy – be very careful as it can over cook quite quickly!

  5. When the vegetables are ready, pour the vinegar over the top and toss together until all the roasted vegetables are coated in the vinegar, mushroom juice and chilli oil mixture.

  6. Remove and divide between serving plates, layering up the kale, mushrooms, beetroot and goat’s cheese. Scatter with the chives and pine nuts and serve straight away.
