I want to make the recipe I saw in the Sunday Times a few weeks ago but I forgot to keep it.

I've googled and found a few similar but this used cooked, not raw, beetroot and gram flour.

Thanks

No but sound fab, so bumping for you!

Thanks. I made them based on a combination of what I remembered and a similar recipe online and they were lovely. Grated cooked beet root, feta cheese, chickpea flour, cumin, spring onions and an egg. Very tasty.

Here you go, was behind the paywall. Looks tasty and I have both beetroot and feta in, might give them a go myself.

Beetroot and feta fritters

Beetroot is earthy, healthy and gives an amazing colour to a dish. The flavours in this vegetarian recipe are punchy, and the sweet, spicy chillies give it a little edge.

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

200g raw beetroot, coarsely grated (wear gloves to avoid red hands)
200g pack of feta cheese, crumbled
100g gram flour
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
1 onion, very finely chopped
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp of full-fat Greek yoghurt
2 tsp tahini
4 flatbreads
1 tub of hummus
1 little gem lettuce head, chopped
1 tbsp dill, chopped
A handful of pickled chillies, (optional as quite expensive)
1 tbsp hot smoked paprika
Lemon wedges, to serve

  1. Pat the beetroot dry with kitchen paper. Tip into a bowl and stir in the feta, gram flour, herbs, onion, egg and season well.
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, add 1-2 tbsp dollops of the mixture and fry the fritters in batches. Cook on each side for 4-5 minutes until firm and golden.
  1. Mix the yogurt with the tahini and 1 tbsp water, and warm the flatbreads. I do this over a gas flame so they char a little, but it can be done in a toaster.
  1. Spread the hummus over the warm flatbreads, then add a dollop of the yoghurt, the lettuce, dill and pickled chillies. Top each with three of the hot fritters, squeeze over the lemon juice, sprinkle over the paprika and serve.

Thanks for the recipes.

Oddly the reason why I wanted the ST one was because I had the cooked vacuum packed beetroot and thought that recipe was for cooked beet but it is actually for raw.

No matter as it turned out lovely anyway.
