About

I created this cheeseburger for the newly built spa complex at the hotel, to serve to our guests as they were being pampered. Cottage cheese, spinach and wheatgerm, offset by a nutty red-pepper sauce and delicate alfalfa sprouts, tempts the most jaded palates.

Method

Heat a little oil in a nonstick frying pan, add the onion, garlic, and cook until softened.
Squeeze the cooked spinach in a clean cloth to remove all the excess moisture, finally chop it and add to the pan. Transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl, add the remaining ingredients, binding with the egg. Season to taste.
Divide the mix into 4 evenly siz
