Ingredients
Indian-Spiced Beet Burgers:
- 1 beet peeled and shredded (3 cups, large, red
- 2 cups brown rice cooked
- 1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric ground
- 1/2 teaspoon dill
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- 4 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- ¼ cup coconut oil for cooking
Lemon-Dill Yogurt Sauce:
- 1 1/4 cups yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 Tbsp dill dried
- lemon zest of 1
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
For Serving:
- butter lettuce
- 1 avocado sliced, large
- sprouts
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients for the lemon-dill yogurt sauce in a small bowl. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Wash, peel, and chop 1 large (or 2 medium) beet. Place in a food processor and pulse into small rice-sized pieces. Measure out 3 cups of grated beet and save the rest for other recipes.
- Add the rice, yellow curry powder, cumin, turmeric, dill, salt, and garlic. Turn your food processor on and process until thick and sticky (you will need to stop and stir the mixture several times).
- Add enough oil to a cast iron skillet to generously coat the surface and heat to medium.
- Form burger patties out of the beet/rice mixture and place on the hot cast iron skillet. Allow patties to cook 2 to 3 minutes (or until crispy). Carefully flip to the other side and allow them to cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve beet burgers on lettuce of choice with lemon-dill yogurt sauce, thick slices of avocado, and sprouts.
