Grilled Spinach N' Nut Veggie Burger - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 cups baby spinach leaves
2 cups brazil nuts
1 small onion
1 large garlic clove
1/2 red pepper
2 slices whole wheat bread, toasted, ground into crumbs
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese (or any other variety hard cheese)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
Preparation
-
In a food processor combine the first six ingredients. Pulse so that you can control the size of the ingredients; I like my chunky.
Into a bowl, combine the chopped ingredients with the remaining six ingredients (like making a meatloaf)
You can use your hands and squeeze the mixture until it holds together into a medium size ball. Press into patties. If patty doesn't hold together you have to adjust moistening by adding a teaspoon of liquid (vegetable juice or oil or vegetable broth) until mixture holds together. Spray grill with a non-stick spray.
Patty cooks within minutes on each side.
*If you are frying, take a patty, and dip into beaten egg, coat in breadcrumbs and fry.
