Ingredients

100g sesame seeds , for coating
140g raw beetroot , coarsely grated
140g peeled and coarsely grated apple
100g feta , coarsely grated
2 spring onions , very finely chopped
50g gluten-free oat
1 large egg
2 tsp ground cumin
1 heaped tsp turmeric
1 large ripe avocado
8 tbsp pro-biotic live Greek yogurt , or goat's or cow's milk
1 small garlic clove
juice ½ lemon

Steps:

Whizz the ingredients for the dip together in a food processor until smooth and glossy. Chill until ready to serve.
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the patties together with a large spatula until well blended. Form the mixture into 12 round patty shapes, roughly 6cm wide, by pressing together between your palms. They will feel wet, but this helps to keep them moist during baking.
Put the sesame seeds in a bowl and coat the patties. Lay each patty on the baking tray and bake for 20 mins or until firm to the touch and lightly golden, then serve with the dip.
