Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 cup plain coconut yogurt, or any other plain yogurt of choice
- 1 orange, zested
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4-5 beets, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch rounds
- 2 bulbs fennel, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces, plus fronds
- 1/4 cup sprouted lentils
- Black lava salt, optional
Method
Step 1
To steam beets: start by scrubbing them clean with a kitchen brush. Place them in a steamer basket and cook for about 30 minutes or until tender all the way through. Once the steamed beets are cool enough to handle, rub the skins off and slice them into 1/2 inch rounds.
Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together coconut yogurt, orange zest, cumin, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with oil and grill fennel and beet slices, in batches, for about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of yogurt onto a platter. Top with grilled fennel, grilled beets and sprouted lentils. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with black lava salt and fennel fronds.
