Method
Cook the beetroot in a large pan of boiling, salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, put the vinegar, salt, sugar, peppercorns and bay leaves into a small pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Cut the beetroot into large chunks. Put into a dish and pour over the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Arrange the chicory leaves and radishes in a salad bowl, add the beetroot, crumble over the goats' cheese, then drizzle over the oil and some sea salt.
