Green burgers

Give your menu a makeover with this cracker dinner to impress the family - by Barbara Northwood
  • 03 May 2019
Green burgers
Prep: 30 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - Easy - Serves 8
Proudly supported by

This green burgers recipe has been designed so you can stash an extra family meal in the freezer, and they’re packed with spinach which can be one of the trickier vegetables to get kids to eat. They’re ideal if you’re feeding your family at different times.

Ingredients

  2 tbsp olive oil  

2 onions, finely chopped

250g bag spinach

5 slices white bread, blitzed into breadcrumbs (or 150g dried breadcrumbs) 

good grating of fresh nutmeg

100g mature cheddar, grated

40g parmesan, finely grated

1-2 large eggs, beaten

3 tbsp plain flour  

To serve

6 crusty bread rolls

4 ripe, juicy tomatoes, thickly sliced 

good-quality ketchup or other relish

sweet potato fries (optional)

Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onions for about 10 mins until pale and soft, then leave to cool a little. 

  2. Finely chop the spinach in a food processor and tip into a bowl. Add the cooled onion, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, cheddar and parmesan, and mash together. Add the beaten egg, a little at a time (you may not need all of it), until the mixture holds together. Divide into eight (see tip, far right) and shape into fat burgers.

  3. Put the flour in a shallow bowl, season well and dip the burgers into the flour to coat. Store in a plastic container between layers of baking parchment. Either chill until ready to cook, or freeze.

  4. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan and fry for about 5 mins each side until browned all over.  Serve in the crusty rolls, with a couple of slices of tomato, ketchup and sweet potato fries on the side, if you like.
