Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the beetroot, fennel and garlic and cook, stirring, for 6-8 mins or until soft. Set aside for 10 mins to cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Transfer beetroot mixture to a food processor with fennel fronds, rice, cumin and egg. Season. Process until well combined. Shape into 8 patties and place on lined tray. Place in the fridge for 30 mins or until firm.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 220°C. Heat the remaining oil in a clean frying pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-5 mins each side or until browned. Top patties with cheese and transfer to lined tray. Bake for 2 mins or until cheese melts.

  4. Step 4

    Divide roll bases among serving plates and spread with chutney. Top with salad leaves, patties, pickled cucumber and roll tops to serve.

Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.
Smart swap:
Not a fan of blue cheese? Tasty cheddar or Swiss cheese will work just as well.

Use it up: The leftover chutney from this recipe will be delicious in a ham and cheese toastie or a ploughman’s lunch.
