Looking for something to cook up as the perfect last minute Valentine’s day dish for a loved one? We show you this fab ‘Heart Beet’ burgers recipe courtesty of Gousto.
Method – visit the Gousto website for the full info on ingredients in the box.
Preheat the oven to 240°C/ 220°C (fan)/ 475°F/ Gas 9
Cut the potatoes (skin on) into wedges
Add the wedges to a baking tray skin-side down (to prevent sticking) with a drizzle of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper
Put the tray in the oven for 30 min or until golden
Meanwhile, drain and grate the beetroot into a sieve (over a bowl), then press and squeeze to release any excess juice (you’ll use this later!)
Season the grated beetroot generously with salt and pepper
Chop the tarragon finely, including the stalks
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Combine the grated beetroot, oats, garlic and egg(s) with half of the tarragon (you’ll use the rest later) and mix well to combine thoroughly
Make 2 (4) patties from the burger mix, squeeze them until they hold their shape, then place in the fridge to firm up
Tip: If you’re feeling the love (and a little adventurous), try making the patties into heart shapes!
Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the onion(s)
Add 1-2 tbsp olive oil to a large, wide-based pan (non-stick!) over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 min until the onion has softened slightly
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the reserved beetroot juice and cook for a further 5 min or until caramelised
Transfer the onion and beetroot to a plate, reserving the pan for later
Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, mayonnaise and the remaining tarragon with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil for the herby mayo
Season lightly with salt and pepper
Place the ciabatta on an oven-proof tray and put them in the oven for 6-8 min or until hot and crusty
Meanwhile, return the reserved pan to a medium heat with 2-3 tbsp olive oil
Once the oil is hot, add the beetroot burgers and cook for 4 min on each side or until lightly caramelised and hot through
Assemble the burgers with some caramelised onion and a little mayo on top
Serve with the potato wedges and the rest of the mayo to the side
Enjoy!
