Preheat the oven to 175°C (fan oven) Gas Mark 3.

Peel the beetroot and grate on fine grater in food processor.  Place in a large bowl and make a dip in the centre.  Break the eggs into the dip. Add all remaining ingredients and stir with something like carving fork until well combined.  

Oil a roasting tin and form into shape as illustrated using a 2 1/2” or 6 cm cookie cutter or mould.  Press down inside mould to keep them together once cooked.
