We've tried our hand at a good number of veggie burger recipes. Some work (Lentil Walnut Burgers and Eggplant Burgers), while some don't (Black bean burgers... a crumbly mess on the bun can not be called a burger.) Finding the right combination of legumes, greenery, and various other forms of vegetation to simulate the patty-forming prowess of meat is tricky business. If you don't get the right texture, you'll either end up with something that crumbles to bits in the pan, or something that tastes oddly like library paste. This recipe is spot on. Topped with some fresh tomato, avocado, and broccoli sprouts (for me at least, don't you dare feed Taylor sprouts - he'll never forgive you - so don't tell him these have sprouts inside the patty too.), on one of the homemade burger buns we made earlier, and you've got yourself a killer burger. Without the killing part, of course. :)
