BEETROOT BURGERS



Ingredients
For Beet Burger Patty
  • 3 large beets, scrubbed clean
  • Oil to spray
  • 2 tsp minced or crushed garlic
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • Ground black pepper and salt to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon

For Chipotle Cashew Hummus
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas

  • 12 roasted cashew nuts
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, optional

For caramelised Onions
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • pinch rock salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • Leafy greens like baby spinach, baby chard or baby kale. A mix of spring greens would be great here also.

Instructions 

Make the beet patties
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Place a large piece of aluminium foil on a baking sheet, spray with oil, place the beets inside in a single row, and fold the foil over to cover completely. Crimp the edges of the foil to seal.
  • Place the baking sheet and let it cool for 15 minutes, then open the foil and let the beets cool until they can be handled.
  • Rubbing the skins off, then slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • Heat the olive oil in a wok or large sauce pan
  • Add the garlic and rock salt. Add the beets and salt and saute for about five minutes
  • Sprinkle on the lemon juice and set aside

Make the chipotle cashew hummus
  • Place the garlic pods in a small piece of foil, roll up the foil into a ball, and roast with the beets, discard the skins and reserve the gooey garlic
  • Place the chickpeas, cashew nuts, roasted garlic, child and salt in a food processor. Add enough water to make a smooth paste. If you're using the extra virgin olive oil, pout it in through the feed tube as the hummus is blending.

    Make the caramelised onions
    • Add the caramelised onions and a pinch of salt. Dry fry for a minute, then add the ground black pepper.
    • Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions become golden brown and soft. Turn off heat and remove to a bowl.

  1. Hiya, are the patties really working? How do you make them keep the shape? I think they need something like oats, chickpea flour or mashed chickpeas to bind them together. What do you think?

  2. Hi Monika,

    yes the patties are working :)
    You can use chickpea flour or cooked rice to bind them together.
