Top Tip for making Spiced bean and carrot patties

Harissa paste is a fiery hot blend of spices from North Africa. You will find it near the dried herbs in most large supermarkets.These patties are great served with dark salad leaves, such as baby spinach and watercress, and chunks of cooked beetroot. For a low-cal dressing, blend 60ml (4tbsp) natural yogurt with 15ml (1tbsp) fresh chopped coriander, a little lemon juice and finely grated rind and a large pinch of salt.
