GRILLED SPINACH N' NUT VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• In a food processor combine the first six ingredients. Pulse so that you can control the size of the ingredients; I like my chunky.
• Into a bowl, combine the chopped ingredients with the remaining six ingredients (like making a meatloaf)
• You can use your hands and squeeze the mixture until it holds together into a medium size ball. Press into patties. If patty doesn't hold together you have to adjust moistening by adding a teaspoon of liquid (vegetable juice or oil or vegetable broth) until mixture holds together. Spray grill with a non-stick spray.
• Patty cooks within minutes on each side.
• *If you are frying, take a patty, and dip into beaten egg, coat in breadcrumbs and fry.
