Cover with a lid or tin foil and roast at 375F for 1 hour or until the beets are cooked throughout (the time of cooking will depend on the size of the beets)

1/2 piece of burrata or 1 piece burattini
35g pistou
20ml aged white balsamic vinegar

Before building, marinate the beets in olive oil and white balsamic. Season beets and burrata with maldon salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Spread the pistou on the bottom of the plate and place the seasoned burrata in the center. Arrange the beets around the burrata, followed by the orange segments. Finished with more extra virgin olive oil and white balsamic.
