Category: Something to Eat - Simple. Nourishing. Delicious and oh that colour!!!!
Okay so my husband loves a good BBQ and I don't want my boys filling up on processed sasssages and burgers so I've come up with this recipe which is absolutely delicious. These burgers or patties are sweet and light and perfect finger food for kids - not to mention filled with nourishing gorgeous ingredients. They are yummy hot or cold and can be served with a beautiful salad or some yoghurt or tomato sauce to dip. I am going to try and freeze a batch of these to pull out too and can easily be made nut free for lunches etc.
Beetroot is such an AMAZING food - filled with soluble fibre which can help lower cholesterol levels. It's low in calories but high in antioxidants a wonderful blood tonic and very good for those of us women who are always tired need extra iron. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I enjoyed making it and eating it!!
