Ingredients

  • 400g raw beetroot, peeled and coarsely grated
  • Small bunch spring onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Small bunch fresh mint, chopped
  • Finely grated zest and juice 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 medium free-range egg
  • 200g feta, crumbled
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 200g mixed salad leaves

To serve

  • 4 burger buns (optional)

Method

  1. Working over the sink, wrap the grated beetroot in a clean J-cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. In a large bowl, mix the beetroot, spring onions, garlic, mint, lemon zest, half the lemon juice, 2 tbsp of the flour and the egg, along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. When well combined, stir in the feta.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 burger-shaped patties and coat with the remaining flour. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with 3 tbsp olive oil and fry the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until crisp on the outside and cooked through.
  3. Mix the remaining oil and lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss with the salad leaves. Serve the burgers in buns with the salad.
