So me and the boy have decided we need a bit of a healthy streak from all the snacking we've been doing lately, so we're cutting down on the carbs for a while. Easier said than done when you're a pasta lover like I am, but so far it's going pretty well. There are a lot of great alternatives and it leaves you feeling a lot better to be honest... Don't get me wrong, pasta will ALWAYS be my go to dish when I want to splurge!! I didn't get the nick name Pasta Girl for nothing... ;)
Beetroot and Kidney bean patties are really tasty, extremely healthy and have a great purple / pink color to it. They're easy to make and taste even better the next day which means they're great to bring in the lunchbox :)
The What:
3 beetroots, peeled and grated
400 g precooked kidney beans
1 egg
breadcrumbs
coriander (if you want)
salt
pepper
feta cheese
soy beans
creme fraishe
pepper
Salad of your choice to serve.
The How:
Peel and grate the beetroot.
Rinse the beans and put in a bowl together with the beetroots. Add the egg and mix together until smooth. Add the breadcrumbs, the salt and pepper as well as the coriander.
Crumble the feta cheese in a bowl, add the soy beans and mix together with creme fraishe, finish with pepper.
Heat a pan with butter and make the patties straight in the pan. Be careful not to burn them!
Let cool before serving them with a nice salad and the feta cheese and soy bean cream.
