Health benefits of Sit And Spinach Burger

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form. Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 bunches spinach, chopped, stems discarded
1 lb. ground beef
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
4 slices mozzarella
4 Hamburger buns
1 large tomato, cut into 4 slices

Instructions

In a deep pot or wide frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and throw in the garlic. Cook until it's aromatic, and then add the spinach. You may need to do this in batches but it will cook down pretty quickly. Keep stirring until the spinach has wilted and cooked down. Set aside in a large bowl and let cool.
Take 1/2 cup of cooled cooked spinach from your bowl and squeeze the moisture out of it using either your hands or a potato ricer or cheesecloth. Mix it into the ground beef along with salt and pepper. Form 4 patties.
Mix the lemon juice and vinegar and transfer to a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties in the lemon–red wine vinegar mixture. Before they finish cooking add a slice of mozzarella to the patty. Cover the pan to help it melt.
