Beet Chop Burger and Ribboned Zucchini Salad

MEET ON: Sunday 6/28/20 at 6 pm EDT (class runs 60-90 minutes)
LIMIT: 15 attendees

Beet Chop Burger

Beet chops are cutlets (deep fried patties) that are absolutely irresistible. Unique to Bengal, you find it on the streets along with samosas but also made in most Bengali homes. It is traditionally eaten as a snack with kasundi, a type of mustard. I make a burger with it and it becomes a delicious meal.  I also pan sear it instead of deep frying—it’s still amazingly good yet healthy.

Ribboned Zucchini Salad

A delicate and delicious green salad to make you feel virtuous after having too many beet chops! Takes 5 minutes to assemble, and it’s the one of the few ways to make zucchini that I love.
