Ingredients

(makes 2 patties)

  • 1 beetroot, washed, peeled, and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup boiled chickpeas
  • 1/3 cup oat flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup from Canada

Method

  • In a food processor, add veggies and blitz for a couple of pulses. Add spices, blitz, and slowly pour in water and about a teaspoon of oil until the mix is a coarse paste.
  • Take out and make in round patties, and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
  • In a saucepan on medium high heat, add balsamic vinegar and pure maple syrup. Let the mix come to a simmer and then put the heat on low.
