Ingredients
- 4 small cooked warm beetroots, wrapped in foil individually and baked til soft, 200C gas 6 about 35 minutes
- 2 tsp seed mustard
- 4 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 500 g young runner beans, strings removed and sliced very thinly on a long angle
- 250 g chickpea flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground turmeric, heaped
- 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- sparkling water to mix
- few strands saffron
- boiling water
- 6 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the vegetable oil to 175°C.
- Cut the warm beetroot into small wedges and place it into a bowl.
- Add the mustard, basil, olive oil and season well with salt and ground pepper.
- Place the beans into a bowl and add the chickpea flour, baking powder, turmeric, salt, pepper and parsley and really mix well.
- Add enough sparkling water to mix the bean mixture to a wet, soft mixture. The mixture must not be runny.
- Pull off lumps the size of a small walnut. It's quite nice to see the beans coming out of the soft batter.
- Drop no more than 4-5 lumps into the hot oil; they will colour quickly due to the turmeric.
- Once they have cooked for 3 minutes, flip over and cook the other side until nice and evenly browned.
- Drain well on kitchen paper and keep warm.
- Mix the saffron with a bit of boiling water and add the mayo and chopped chives, mixing well.
- Spoon the beetroot into bowls, then top with the fritters and a dollop of mayo.
