The demands of Mrs. H. are not to be ignored and with a challenge in hand I decided to have a go at Beetroot Rosti. Now, Mrs. H. is rather keen on Beetroot but I have never tried these before. After consulting a few recipes I decided to give it a go. This was going to be the accompaniment to a fillet steak and dauphinoise potatoes!
Ingredients (Makes 3 or 4):
- 2 raw beetroots
- Fresh ground pepper and sea salt
- 1 tbls of plain flour
- 1 medium onion
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp of butter
Peel and coarsely shred both the beets and the onion and place in a sieve over a bowl. The reason for this is we want to remove as much of the retained liquid as possible. Squeeze the shredded veg until most of the liquid has gone. Beat the egg and add this (as required) and some flour to bind the mixture. Season and then form into patties. Heat a frying pan on medium heat and add butter. When hot, add the patties and cook for approx 8 mins on each side until firm and crisp. Serve with the steak or on their own!
The general consensus was that the flavour was lovely but they could have been crisper. Walks off with head in shame!
