Ingredients
- 400g trimmed raw beetroot, peeled and coarsely grated
- 5 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 75g plain flour
- 1 medium egg, beaten
- 125g vegetarian soft goats’ cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp light mayonnaise
- ½-1 tbsp wholegrain mustard, to taste
- 4 brioche burger buns, halved
- 4 small handfuls lambs lettuce or other soft salad leaves
Step by step
- Put the grated beetroot in a clean J-cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible, over the sink. Tip into a large bowl and mix with the spring onions, garlic, flour and egg. Season well and stir through the goats’ cheese until roughly combined.
- Shape into 4 burger patties (8-10cm in diameter), firmly compacting the mixture so that it holds its shape. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the patties over a medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until crisp and darker in colour on the outside, and piping hot throughout.
- Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. Transfer the beetroot patties to a plate and lightly toast the burger buns in the same pan.
- Top each burger bun base with a handful of leaves, followed by a beetroot patty, a dollop of mustard mayo and the bun lid.
