Spinach Hamburgers (Keftes De Spinaca)
(0 ratings)Posted by:jrt
These spinach-beef patties have a wonderful flavor. I'm familiar with a variation that uses cumin and turmeric and is served in a tomato sauce. The spinach must be squeezed dry thoroughly or the excess water will prevent proper frying.
