Equipment

  • pan

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Quick-cooking oats
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Plus more for cooking the burgers
  • 1 Onion Chopped
  • 2-3 Garlic cloves Minced
  • 6 oz Spinach Stemmed and coarsely chopped
  • 1 oz can Cannellini beans Or 2 cups cooked
  • 2 Scallions Chopped very fine
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh dill If using dried, use 1 tsp
  • 1 teaspoon All-purpose seasoning blend Like Mrs. Dash
  • ¼ cup Fine bread crumbs or wheat germ
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Combine the oats with ⅔ cup boiling water and keep aside until needed.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet (I used my favorite cast iron pan). Add onion and sauté until translucent. Now add the garlic and scallions and continue to sauté until the onions are golden brown.
  • Now add the chopped spinach and cook until the spinach wilts down but is still green and fresh. This takes about a minute or two. Turn off the flame.
  • In a food processor, combine the greens mixture with all the remaining ingredients as well as the cooked oats. Pulse on and off until the mixture is coarsely chopped.
  • Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of the same skillet we used earlier. When the pan is sizzling hot, add about ¼ cup of the mixture onto the skillet and flatten to form 3 to 4-inch rounds.
  • Fry them on both sides over medium heat until they are nicely browned. Drain the cooked burgers on paper towels.
  • Serve warm with or without bread.

Notes

I served the with burger buns, lettuce, cheese and some pickles on the side.
