Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Drizzle half the oil into a roasting tin and tumble in the beetroot. Toss with the cumin seeds and balsamic vinegar, season, then roast for 30-45 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile mix the pork mince with the grated apple, garlic and chilli flakes, season well, then shape into 4 burgers. Heat the remaining oil in an ovenproof frying pan and fry the burgers for 2-3 minutes on both sides, then pop in the oven for 8-10 minutes to cook through.
- Spoon the beetroot into a bowl and mix with the diced apple, celery, crème fraîche and lemon juice. Serve with the burgers and a handful of rocket or lamb’s lettuce.
