Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Roast the beets
Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Scrub the beets; cut the beets crosswise into ¼-inch-thick rounds.
On a sheet pan, toss the beets with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast, stirring halfway through, until the beets are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Meanwhile, start preparing the patties.
2
Make the patties
- Cut 1 apple [2 apples] into quarters and cut away the core. Using the large holes of a box grater, coarsely grate the apple, including the skin. Transfer the grated apple to a fine-mesh strainer; using the back of a spoon, press out as much moisture as possible. Alternatively, wrap the apple in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the moisture.
- Ground meat: Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
- Sausage links: Remove the sausage meat from the casings. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the meat, grated apple, and coriander-cumin spice blend. Season with salt and pepper and mix gently until just combined. Using wet hands, form the mixture into four [eight] ½-inch-thick patties.
3
Cook the patties
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking.
Add the patties.
Beef, pork, sausage, or plant-based meat: Cook, turning once, until browned and cooked to the desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
Turkey or chicken: Cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
4
Make the cucumber salsa
- Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber into ¼-inch pieces.
- Juice the lemon. [Juice 1 lemon; save the remaining lemon for another use.]
- Coarsely chop the dill.
In a small bowl, stir together the cucumber, dill, 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice, and 2 to 3 teaspoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5
Make the beet salad
- Core and thinly slice the remaining apple [2 apples].
- Coarsely chop the walnuts.
In a medium bowl, stir together the sherry vinegar and 2 to 3 teaspoons oil. Add the beets, apple, and walnuts and toss to coat; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the beet salad and patties to individual plates. Top the patties with the cucumber salsa and serve.
