Veggie Burgers?

The Husband and I had a very long week but I knew that if we didn't use the greens TODAY they were going to go bad, and quickly (not to mention that in all likelihood we will be getting MORE greens on Monday). The thing is we had Turnip Greens and Spinach and no real idea of what to do with them. The Google Machine seemed to suggest that the only way to treat greens was to saute them with garlic or bacon or both. Now, don't get me wrong, bacon makes the world go 'round but the idea of eating sauteed greens ALL summer was making me bored already. So I hit the books, literally. I pulled EVERY SINGLE cookbook on my shelf and began to pore through them. I looked up turnip greens, and spinach, and just general greens...the options were barren to say the least.  Joy of Cooking: "saute with garlic," Martha Stewart: "saute with bacon," Mark Bittman.... "veggie burgers."


  • The Husband: Veggie Burgers? Ick.
  • Me: It's the first recipe that didn't just say "saute"
  • The Husband: Still...Ick.
  • Me: We're doing it
and I set to work. 

The Recipe called for 2 cups cooked and chopped greens. So I piled all the greens on the board and got to chopping.
