Make

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (191C) degrees. (If you prefer to grill instead of heating up the oven, you can brush patties with oil and grill over direct high heat for ~3 minutes on each side and then cook on lower heat for another 6 to 8 minutes with the cover closed.)
  2. Situate a sheet pan next to stovetop. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add oil. Once oil is hot, place patties into pan and sear on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes each, until a golden crust is formed. Transfer patties onto sheet pan as they finish searing. Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
  3. While patties are baking, saute chard. You can use the same pan and just wipe clean with a paper towel. Return pan to medium-high heat and add oil. Once oil is hot, add white parts of green onions and chard stems. Saute until softened, ~3 minutes. Next add in chard leaves, as much as can fit into the pan. Add more as leaves wilt. Finish with lemon juice and season to taste.
  4. Enjoy patties on top of chard, topped with Sriracha mayo.
