I always loved my grannies meat patties when I was a kid. As I don’t eat meat anymore I looked for some alternatives to bring back the memories of those yummy patties my grandma made. This is her original recipe, instead of meat I use beetroot.
Prep time: 25 min
Fry time: (with top approx) 15 min. Additional 10 mins without top (until golden brown)
Ingredients:
Patty
500 g beetroot
1 Egg yolk
100g Young cheese (I use gouda)
1 Small onion
1 Clove of garlic
1 Tbl spoon gluten free flour
Gluten free breadcrumbs (for coating)
1 T spoon red paprika powder
Thyme
Parsley
Salt, pepper
Tzatziki
1 Cucumber
200g Lactose free quark
10g Dill
1 Garlic
Bit of mint
Splash of extra virgin olive oil
Step by step instructions:
1. Grate the beetroot add a little salt and let it sit for 10-15 minutes
2. In the meanwhile prepare the Tzatziki: carve out the seeds form the cucumber with small spoon and grate it in a small ball.
3.Add salt, pepper, dill, mint and quark. Mix and put it in the fridge until the patties are ready.
4. Put the beetroot in a clean cloth and push the excess water out (this is an important step, otherwise the beet is too watery and won’t stick together).
5.Add salt, pepper, red paprika powder, egg yolk, flour, thyme and parsley and mix together thoroughly.
6. Grate the onion and cheese, mix it together with the beets.
7. Heat up oil to medium heat and form patties from the beets.
8. Before frying coat them with breadcrumbs (this makes the patties nice and crunchy).
9. Fry it covered on medium heat for 15-20 mins (turn occasionally), then on high heat until both sides are golden brown.
Serve immediately with fresh herbs.
this looks totally delicious
