Tonight I went all vegetarian and made a spinach burger. Not a burger topped with spinach, a burger made of spinach. I sautéed spinach with onion and then mixed in a bowl with egg, breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, and spices (cumin, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes). Once combined, I formed the spinach mixture into patties and returned to the pan. Now the important thing is to let the be. Let them cook for a little while without touching them so they have time to bind together. Flip them over and cook through the other side and you're done.
You can make these in ball form and top with marinara sauce or do what I did and put it on a bun with some sriracha mayo. Did it taste like a burger? Absolutely not, but if you thought there was a chance it would, we have a bigger problem to contend with. What it did taste like was goodness. Super healthy and surprisingly satisfying goodness, to be exact.
