I really liked these patties. I used a little less beef than required, but still found the mixture to be dry and used a whole egg. Still dry, so I added a bit of kefir. The patties held together, but only just. No salt is listed in the ingredients, and while I cook very low sodium, I think you need some salt in this dish, so I added maybe 1 tsp or so. I liked the raw onion in this - I used a red one - as it retained more crunch that was nice. Loved how the spinach looked. I pan grilled these, and then made a gravy with the pan juices. Served with turmeric potatoes and mixed vegetables for a satisfactory supper.

I made this tonight, and cooked it on my outdoor grill. They absorbed a nice smokey taste. There was something missing in the flavor. They were a bit flat. But I appreciate the extra vitamins that the spinach added! Made for Newest Tag game. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
