Mix half the goats cheese with sour cream until smooth.

To serve, place roasted beetroot and any juices from the tray into a medium-sized bowl. Add pickled onion and 2 tablespoons of the pickling liquid. Toss well to combine. Spread the goats cheese cream into the centre of a large serving plate. Top with lentils. Add beetroot and onion mixture. Garnish with red sorrel, slices of remaining goats cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
