Method
step 1
Halve or quarter the beetroot, depending on the size. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan, add the beetroot and sauté for 2-3 mins, tossing well to coat.
step 2
Add the balsamic vinegar, season and cook 1-2 mins longer, until reduced right down to a syrupy glaze.
step 3
Transfer to a serving bowl to cool, then cover and chill. Can be done up to 1 day ahead. Remove from fridge 30 mins before serving, crumble over the Roquefort and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
