Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Total Time: 1:15 minutes

Cuisine: Gluten Free, Vegetarian

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients:

  • 500g beetroot, ends removed
  • 700g pumpkin, peeled, cut into 2-3cm pieces
  • 1 red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 200g fresh rocket leaves
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. coarsely chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 100g goat’s feta, crumbled

DRESSING 

I personally prefer a combination of red wine vinegar and olive oil, however others (with a slightly sweeter tooth), prefer a drizzle of balsamic vinegar I thought I’d let you decide.

METHOD
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C (fan).
  • Wrap each beetroot in a piece of unbleached baking paper and then again in aluminium foil. Bake on a tray for 40-60 mins or until tender.
  • Line a separate baking tray with baking paper. Spread pumpkin pieces and red onion wedges over baking tray. Drizzle over 1 tablespoon olive/macadamia/coconut oil. Toss to combine. Bake alongside encased beetroot for approximately 25 mins or until tender.
  • Once beetroot is done, remove from foil and baking paper, set aside to cool slightly before removing skin; if cooked well, this should peel off easily.
  • Cut beetroot into 2-3cm pieces.
  • In a large salad bowl, add rocket, beetroot, pumpkin, red onion. Top with walnuts, parsley, crumbled goat’s cheese and your choice of dressing.

 

Enjoy!

    COVID-19

    As per the government health guidelines on the 22nd of March 2020 non essential services will be closed. This does not include us. While we are still open for our usual services we will be practicing strict and heightened hygiene measures during this time to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

    From the PM’s address today, we want to be clear we are not a gym. We are a health care practice, that provides services to optimise health and reduce pain from musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Our studio team are ensuring complete high grade sanitisation of props and equipment that will only be single person use for each session, and ensuring social distancing. The staff and studio have had no connection to the COVID-19 at this time.

    As per the government health guidelines we will not allow access to our services if you answer “yes” to any of the below:

    Have you been overseas in the last 14 days?
    Have you been in contact with anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
    Do you have a dry cough, shortness of breath, fever or sore throat?
    If answered yes to any of the above, please call the COVID-19 hotline on 1800 020 080.

    We ask patients who are at risk to please let us know before your appointment so we can discuss your position. This includes immune-suppressed, the elderly and those who have been in high-risk areas. We also ask that you call the clinic if you do develop COVID-19 or have come in contact with someone who has so we can act according to the government recommendations.

    For all treatments, our linen is being changed for every client and a wipe down of all equipment used. We ask that you remain in your car until your treatment time to minimise patient to patient contact in the waiting area. We also ask that you use ‘tap and go’ for your payment method rather than cash. Also we will not require you to sign your health fund slip to minimise cross use of pens between staff and patients. All our door handles and surfaces are regularly being cleaned during the day.

    We ask everyone who comes in for group therapy sessions.

    Bring a large towel and socks.
    Keep 1.5m distance between yourself and others.
    Wash your hands before and after the class.
    If you need to cough or sneeze, cover your face and wash or sanitise hands immediately.
    If you wish to wear gloves we have them available for you.
    Online and Telehealth will be an option in the very near future….watch this space.

    We are understanding of each and everyone’s individual position and we deeply care for your health and encourage everyone to take steps to keep strong and healthy at this time. Please feel free to call or email our staff to voice your concern and receive guidance. We are dedicated to informing you of our position and future movements in relation to Covid-19.

    Thank you for your cooperation and support.
