Overview:
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 12 people
Ingredients:
3 beetroots, peeled & chopped
4 carrots, peeled & shredded
40g onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tbsp chilli powder
100g walnuts
90g old-fashioned oats
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 eggs
2 tbsp olive oil
160g Greek yogurt (optional)
60g sour cream (optional)
15g fresh coriander, chopped (optional)
1/2 lime, juice only (optional)
Instructions:
Put the beetroots on a large paper towel, put another paper towel on top, then press down to release any juices.
Add the beets to a food processor with the carrots, onion, garlic, cumin, chilli powder, walnuts, oats, salt, pepper and eggs.
Blitz until it reaches a consistency that’s similar to ground meat.
Split the mixture into twelve and form them into patties.
Put a large pan over a medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is warm, add patties to the pan and cook for 3 or 4 minutes on each side until they turn golden.
Repeat until all your patties are cooked.
If you want to serve with a Greek yogurt sauce, simply add the yogurt, sour cream, coriander and lime juice to a small bowl and mix well.
Serve the patties hot in a burger bun with your homemade sauce.
