SPINACH AND RICE MEATLESS BURGERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, take 2 tbsp olive oil, oregano, black pepper, small diced garlic, cooked rice, toasted bread cubes and 1/2 tsp salt.
• Add thawed and water squeezed spinach leaves and 1/4 cup goat cheese. Mix to combine everything evenly. Taste the mixture at this taste and adjust salt.
• Now add slightly beaten egg and combine into the mixture.
• Divide the mixture to make four patties about 1/2 inch thick. Heat a skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and place patties on hot skillet and let it cook for 6-7 minutes until crisp at the bottom.
• Flip and cook other side until fully cooked another 5 minutes (internal temperature is 160 F).
• Toast the whole wheat or white wheat bread rolls, top with spinach and rice patties and toppings of your choice. I topped burgers with pan grilled onion, fresh roma tomato slice, pineapple and goat cheese.
