Go to the organic/health food section of the grocery store. Locate the
frozen veggie burgers. Find Morning Star Farms Vegetable Burgers with
spicy black beans (I'm sure other brands make something similar, but I've
never had anything but the morning star farms). Buy a package.
Throw one black bean patty on the George Foreman Grill.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes
While cooking, prepare bun by placing a slice of pepper jack cheese on the
bottom ½ of the bun. Prepare the condiment by spooning a few scoops of
sour cream (regular, light or fat-free – it really doesn't matter – I use fatfree
and it's quite good) Pour some salsa over the top and mix together
until it is a colorful red sauce that is a decent consistency. (not too thin)
When the patty is done cooking, place it on the ½ of the bun with cheese.
Top with sour cream/salsa mixture and put the top ½ of the bun on. SO
good!

Torta Di Spinaci
10 oz. spinach, blanched 1 minute, drained, dried and chopped
2 cups all purpose flour, extra for kneading dough
1/2 cup unsalted butter(4 oz.)
1 egg yoke plus 3 whole eggs, beaten
3 tbs milk
1/4 cup golden raisins, soak 30 minutes in water, drain
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground pepper
2 1/2 tbs (1 oz.) Pine nuts
To make dough by hand: Pour flour into a bowl, add salt and the butter.
Using fingertips, work the butter into flour until a crumbly dough forms.
Add the egg yoke and milk, incorporate, and knead dough into a ball. Wrap in
plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Food processor dough: Combine flour and salt in the work bowl and using
metal blades process briefly to mix. Add butter and process until the
ingredients resemble course meal. Next add egg yoke and milk and process
until dough forms a ball around the blades. Remove dough, shape to ball,
wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Using 1 tbs. butter, grease a 9 inch tart pan
with a removable bottom and then dust with flour. Using a lightly floured
board, roll out the dough into a round shape, making it 1 inch larger than
the diameter of the pan. Line the prepared pan with the pastry dough and
trim.
In a bowl, combine the blanched, chopped spinach, raisins, whole eggs, cream
and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour
into the pastry-lined tart pan and top with the pine nuts. Bake in oven
until it is golden, about 40 minutes. Remove, let cool slightly and then
transfer to a serving dish. Serve Torta luke warm or cool.
