Mediterranean Spinach Patties
"These are my favorite way to cook spinach and are a great veggie alternative to a hamburger. They are very tasty, so don't let the spinach scare you away. I think the eggs really take the edge off of the spinach taste. I can't remember where I got the recipe, but it suggested serving them on a bun with some tomato sauce on top."

I thought these would be fun to try since my daughter and I love spinach, but I was very disappointed with the taste, and we ended up throwing them away. Sorry. -
Oops! That would be a 10 oz. box of frozen, chopped spinach. -
The recipe didn't say what size box of spinach to use, I had 250g so only used 1 egg, and then adjusted rest of the ingredients. They were tasty, will be making them again. This time I didn't use them as burger patties, served them with lots of other vegies. Next time around I will definitely try it on a burger.

I'm a native Floridian (there's not many of us!) I currently hold the position of Domestic Goddess in the Stout household. I am blessed in that my husband is my soulmate. We share 3 remarkable children, a white cat and, most recently, a white puppy. In the future I plan to finish nursing school and maybe have a woodworking business on the side. Right now I enjoy restoring fatigued furniture, astronomy, and cooking, which brings me here. Oh! I started gardening this year, I love herbs since they are also useful in the kitchen- my favorite being basil.
