Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 250g A bag of 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
tomato Ketchup or relish
Sweet Potato Fries (optional)
Method:
- Heat half the oil in frying pan and gently fry the onions for about 10 minutes
until pale and soft, then leave to cool. - 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 and shape into fat burgers.
- 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.
- Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan and fry for about 5 minutes each side until browned all over.
- Serve in the crusty rolls, with a couple of slices of tomato and ketchup with sweet potato fries on the side if you choose.
