Beetroot burgers with feta

Instructions

1 Working over the sink, wrap the beetroot in a clean muslin cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible (use rubber gloves or rinse your hands quickly afterwards). In a large bowl, mix the beetroot, spring onions, garlic, mint, coriander (if using), lemon zest, half the juice, 2 tablspoons flour and the egg, along with lots of ground black pepper. When well combined, stir in the feta.

2 Form the mixture into 4 patties and coat with the remaining flour. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and fry the patties for 5–6 min on each side until crisp on the outside and cooked through.

3 Mix the remaining oil and lemon juice, add black pepper and toss with the salad leaves.
