Beetroot
I love the stuff. You may have noticed that before. I like it plain or pickled in salads, on a sandwich, in wraps, topping a burger and just out of the jar with a fork.
So when Haywards got in touch and asked me to create a recipe card for them, I was delighted to.I immediately had that eureka moment and decided a beetroot burger or fritter would be amazing. In the end I decided to make fritters and I teamed the beetroot with rocket and feta which work really well with it's earthy flavour.
These are really easy to make and would be great on a burger bun with salad, on a wrap, or served as a starter with dip.
I made my fritters quite rustic, but you could make a finer fritter, by chopping finer. It's very much a personal choice. I do hope you try them and let me know what you think.
