Basically, I wanted to find a way to get some veggies into my burger. Perhaps one of these weeks I will do an actual veggie burger or perhaps not. This burger was as green as I could make it with a basil pesto sauce slathered on the toasted bun and topped with spinach sauteed with onions and feta cheese. I started by melting some butter in a sautee pan and letting the diced white onion and garlic become translucent together. Then I topped the onins with the chopped spinach leaves. At the very end I added about a half a cup of crumbled feta cheese. I could have just eaten the spinach by itself without the burger. It was incredibly moist from the onions and had the right flavor from the garlic and the feta melted in added a creamy texture to it. The pesto sauce was just a blended mix of basil leaves, pine nuts, olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. When the burger was put together it really blended well as a meal with different textures and different flavors. I could taste all of the components of the burger individually and nothing was overpowering. Maybe it wasn't the healthiest way to do it but I reached my veggie quota for the day.
