If you're still thinking about dinner tonight, don't miss out this delicious pumpkin and spinach burger recipe. It is a simple, delicious and quick dish to prepare that the whole family will love, even children who tend to put more problems when eating certain vegetables. The hamburger format is ideal for cooking all kinds of ingredients, since the flavors are very well camouflaged and you can add many ingredients.
For today's hamburgers I have used pumpkin, since it is in season and is the best time to enjoy all the nutritional benefits of this vegetable. As for spinach, they cannot be missing from the table since they are a source of iron and calcium, essential for good health. These hamburgers can be served on the plate, but if you want to give it another touch, you can prepare a traditional hamburger with seed bread, cheese, some tomato slices and tomato sauce. Bon appetit!
