Method

• In a large bowl add the mince, grated beetroot, onion and rosemary
•   Using your hands squeeze out any excess moisture from the cracked wheat, add to your beetroot mixture
• Season well with salt and pepper
• Using your hand mix all the ingredients together
• If the mixture needs some binding add the egg and mix well
• Using slightly damp hands mould four even-size patties and put onto a plate
• Chill until required
• When ready to cook, heat up a good size fry pan with enough oil to just cover the base of the pan
•   When almost smoking add the patties and turn the heat down to medium and cook on both sides so they are golden brown and ruby red
• They should take around 5 minutes either side (depending on the thickness)
• Serve immediately, they are great wrapped in a crunchy lettuce leaf with perhaps a tangy little relish or yoghurt dressing
• A very reasonable and very filling supper!
