Black Bean Burgers from At My Table by Mary McCartney
Packed with protein and fibre, if you don’t have black beans, then kidney beans are a great alternative. Sandwich between a burger bun with all the toppings – sliced pickles, tomato, onion, lettuce, Thousand Island dressing (or mayo and ketchup) and mustard. Mary’s advice is to never skimp on the toppings!
Beetroot and Cumin Fritters with Horseradish and Dill Yoghurt from Peace and Parsnips by Lee Watson
These little fritters are bursting at the seams with flavours, and the herbaceous horseradish yoghurt tops things off very nicely. A punchy, zesty sauce is perfect with any fried food, lighting the palate up. The sweet earthiness of the beetroot and the fragrance of cumin were, very simply, made for each other.
