Beetroot, pork and apple hash
We are trying to achieve the 5 a day vegetable regime and to this end, I created this dish, loosely based on the beetroot rosti. It was fabulous. You could probably make a neater version by frying individual patties. I was more concerned with getting it to the table and eating it so I cooked the whole thing as you would with bubble and squeak, patting it flat in the frying pan and constantly turning it over to ensure that it's cooked evenly. Add a splash of olive oil to the pan if it appears to be drying out. I wouldn't worry about the toasty burnt bits either as they are delicious in their own right. A very successful experiment which went very well with purple sprouting broccoli, sauteed in olive oil and a few crushed cloves of garlic.
Swap out the pork for feta cheese or halloumi cheese and you have a vegetarian version.
