BEETROOT BURGER

Ooh la la and mamma mia! All the colors of the rainbow are present in this amazing beetroot burger. I say: give it a try. It won’t even take long.

First thing’s first. I would like to emphasize the importance of good beets. I noticed over time that some beets are not as sweet as others and some are downright bitter. I am not quite sure why that is, but, when shopping for beets, pay attention to the color. Rich and deep colors usually indicate sweet beets. Usually, but not always — so before you throw the beets in the food processor, taste a slice to make sure it’s worth cooking.

Next, I would like to point out that below you will find the recipe only for the burger patties. I decided not to tell you how to assemble the burger. You know better. Your favorite bun + your favorite veggies + your favorite cheese + your favorite condiments = THE BEST BURGER EVER! I think guacamole or just smashed avocado with some lemon juice and salt make a good addition to this burger. Give it a try, friends.
