Thai spiced apple and beetroot cakes

2 red apples deseeded and cut into chunks

4 cooked beetroot

Salt and pepper

1/2 cup of soya flour

 

METHOD

Blend all together in a food processor until smooth

On a work surface sprinkle some soy flour and gather cake mix

Shape to roughly ping pong size and flatten

Repeat until mix is finished (my tip place a layer of cling film on a plate and this will help keep shape and prevent from sticking)

Allow to rest for 2 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
