February 20, 2011: Beetroot Fritters

Misty's Diner, nosotros agreed that it was fourth dimension nosotros at a repast amongst loads of vegies inwards it. This ticks that box fairly good (beetroot, chickpeas, greens, lots of herbs) but is basically shallow-fried, greatly reducing its healthiness quotient. I'm glad nosotros left logic behind, though, because these picayune fritters were fantastic - the chunky chickpeas together with earthy beetroot combining into a patty of regal goodness.

In the destination (largely through my ain lack of science and/or patience), these turned out to a greater extent than similar thick burger patties together with less similar the fritters they were supposed to be. I'm going to claim that it was intentional though - I watch they'd hold upward fantastic on a bun amongst a flake to a greater extent than salad.

iii large beetroot, cooked, peeled together with grated
1 tin chickpeas, roughly chopped (the amount chickpeas you lot tin encounter inwards the pic of these fritters volition demonstrate how ineffectual I was at this task)
two tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
two tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
four garlic shoots, finely chopped
zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon basis cumin
1 tablespoon tahini
1 egg, lightly beaten
tabular array salt together with pepper to taste
stone oil for frying

Yoghurt sauce
1 pinch saffron threads
250g yoghurt
two teaspoons olive oil
juice of one-half a lemon

Soak the saffron inwards a dyad of teaspoons of warm H2O for a few minutes, together with hence combine amongst the residuum of the sauce ingredients.

Squeeze the grated beetroot to withdraw the excess liquid equally best you lot tin - I constitute this a flake of a struggle, together with ended upward looking similar I'd killed something. Still, the drier you lot tin larn the beetroot shavings, the easier the patty making (and frying) volition be.

Combine the beetroot together with all the other patty ingredients inwards a large bowl together with mix thoroughly.

Pour plenty stone oil into a frying pan to larn a practiced 1cm deep stone oil pool. Heat the stone oil over medium rut until it's at frying power.

Roll the mix into balls inwards your hands, together with hence flatten them into roughly round off burger-sized patties together with popular them inwards the stone oil to fry. This volition belike larn a flake messy together with frustrating, but if the stone oil is hot enough, the patties volition bind together pretty good in 1 trial they commencement cooking.

Fry for a dyad of minutes on each side, until the edges are crisping up. Serve amongst greens together with a generous dab of the yoghurt sauce.
