Katharina Kjeldgaard: Beet patties

As the crisp autumn air settles in, it’s the perfect time to savour seasonal flavours with a twist on the classic burger. This fall-inspired beet burger combines the earthy sweetness of beets with the tartness and crunchiness of thinly sliced apples, creating a deliciously unique and hearty meal. Topped with your choice of cheddar, pickled red onions, and a hint of chipotle mayo. Or whatever your heart desires.

Tip: You can season your patties with other spices or add small pieces of feta, for example. You can also cook them in smaller pieces, so you can use them in pita bread, wraps or serve them with a salad.

Amount: 4 patties
Easy to make
Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients for the patties:

400 g beets (about 2 medium-sized)
100 g rolled oats
2 eggs
3 tbsp chopped parsley (flat-leaf parsley recommended)
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp salt
oil for frying

Other ingredients for this burger:

burger buns
mayo
chipotle mayo
lettuce
apple
cheddar
pickled red onion

Instruction:

Peel the beets and grate them coarsely. Squeeze out as much water as you can from the grated beets using your hands. Doing this over the sink makes it easier as it can get messy.

Place the grated beets in a large bowl. Add the eggs, chopped parsley, oats, salt and pepper, and mix everything together thoroughly.

With slightly damp hands, shape the mixture into 4 beet patties. Cook the patties for about 8 minutes on each side over medium heat.
