Burgers, Beets & Bay

Ingredients
• 150 grams raw beetroot (i pulled mine from the veggie patch)

• 100 grams of carrot peeled and grated on a fine grater

• 80 grams of rolled oats

• ½ a pack of finely chopped parsley

• ½ a pack of finely chopped dill

• Salt

• Black pepper

• Olive oil to cook the burgers

1. Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees.

2. To begin, add your ingredients into a large mixing bowl mix with your hands, adjust the seasoning of the burger mix.

3. Shape

4. Lightly flour the outside

5. Allow to set in the fridge, as this and the flour helps to ensure your burgers don’t break up.

6. Place a large saucepan onto a medium heat, once the pan begins to lightly smoke add a dash of vegetable oil and allow to warm through.

7. Add your patties to the pan, allow to colour on both sides until lightly golden brown and crisp. Place onto a lined baking tray and into your oven for 20 minutes, until warmed through.

These burgers are a great healthy meal which are high in minerals and low in fat and most importantly VEGAN.

Roasted Carrots with garlic and sage:

1. To begin this side dish wash but don’t peel your carrots, cut them insure they are the same size pieces so that they roast at the same time

2. To finish them off, add half a bulb of garlic, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt and black pepper, lastly add a selection of woody garden herbs.

3. Roast in a pre-heated oven of 200 degrees and roast till golden sweet and you can even cover the carrots with foil to allow them to stem a little. 

4. Whilst they’re still hot drizzle over a little runny organic Ripley honey.

Garden bean salsa:

1. Blanch and trim your beans (I have used an assortment of beans grown in the garden)

2. To make a buttery emulsion add butter, water and lemon in a pan. 

3. Once the beans are blanched add them to emulsion, hit with black pepper, a little sea salt and lastly a selection of garden herbs (soft herbs work best like oregano, parsley)

Lastly for your buns I’d suggest using artisan breads, for my burgers I used the GG spelt sourdough loaves which you will have seen!
