Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C / fan 180C / gas mark 6. Boil a kettle. Peel and half the beetroot. Cut into wedges 2-3cm thick. Place the beetroot onto a lined baking tray with 1/2 tbsp of oil. Mix well and season with sea salt and black pepper, then roast for 25-30 mins, until beets are cooked through and golden.
  2. Rinse the rice and place in a saucepan with 900ml lightly salted boiling water. Simmer for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  3. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the coriander. Zest and halve the lemon. In a separate bowl mix the harissa together with the yoghurt and season with sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Place the garlic and lemon zest in a bowl with remaining harissa, honey and a good pinch of sea salt. Add the prawns and mix well. 5 mins before you are ready to serve, heat a 1/2 tbsp oil in a medium frying pan on a medium high heat and cook the prawns for about 2-3 mins, until pink. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and remove from the heat.
  5. When the beetroot is out of the oven, mix together with half the coriander and gently toss through the salad leaves. Mix the remaining coriander through the black rice along with a pinch of salt.
  6. Serve the beetroot salad on plates with the coriander rice alongside. Top the rice with the harissa prawns and finish with a drizzle of harissa yoghurt. Serve any leftover lemon on the side to squeeze on top.
