Beetroot Tzatziki (Makes 2 cups)

2 beetroot (about 350g)

100g goat’s cheese

2 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove

3⁄4 cup Greek-style yoghurt

Method:

Preheat oven to 200 ̊C. To make beetroot tzatziki, wrap beetroot in foil. Cook in oven for 1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a knife.

Cool, remove skins and coarsely chop. Place beetroot, goat’s cheese, olive oil and garlic in a food processor. Process until smooth.

Remove to a bowl. Stir in yoghurt, chopped dill and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add chopped onions and crushed garlic. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until tender. Add shredded kale. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until just wilted. Stir in cumin and paprika. Cool.

Place kale mixture, parsley and coriander in a food processor. Process until finely chopped.

Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and oats. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse until combined. Shape mixture into 1⁄4-cup patties. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Shallow-fry patties in oil, in batches, for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and heated through.

Serve kale with beetroot tzatziki, pine nuts, mixed leaves and lemon wedges.
