VEGAN SPINACH “CHICKEN” PATTIES (OPEN TO EXPERIMENTATION!)

These patties are a variation of an old recipe I hadn't made for a long time-- a vegan "chicken" spinach loaf. They are unabashedly NOT soy or gluten-free! But they have a homey feel, good flavor and texture, and they are so simple that the seasoning is open to interpretation. The loaf was made with the usual "chickeny" herbs-- sage, thyme, rosemary marjoram-- but I used a bit of a Middle Eastern theme with cumin, mint and basil the last time I made them. They could be made quite spicy, either by adding hot sauce, or using a spicy sauce on top of them. Or they could be made with Asian flavors-- lemongrass and cilantro, maybe, or 5-spice powder.

You could also, I think, use other vegetables-- kale, chard, zucchini shreds (make sure these are well-squeezed), for instance. you could use green onions instead of white onion. I think you get the idea-- this recipe is a good one to play around with, so have fun!
