Really yummy. Even the non-vegetarians loved them!

The second time around my family really enjoyed these. The first time they were really dry and fell apart really bad. The second time I made them I ground the walnuts and sunflower seeds really fine and added 2 eggs. They held together perfectly!

Will this replace a burger for a non-vegetarian? no. But does it taste great? Yes!!! The flavor was great! the only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because they did not hold too well. To help with this, I made mini-burgers, and made sure that they chared a bit on each side. It did help some, but did not completely eliminate the problem. I will still make them though

This recipe is easy to make and makes more than the recipe says. I had enough to make double the amount. I served it with Root Vegetable Chips. Delicious!

The taste is good, but I found it very difficult to make the mix into proper patties. I ended up just spooning the mix into the pita - it was great, but not a burger, just a sandwich filling.

I thought this was a great template for soy-free veggie burgers. I didn't have chick peas, so I used black beans. I didn't have parsely or the ranch. The patty itself left a lot to be desired in the way of taste--BUT I put cheese, avacado and ketchup on it and then it was fine. I think this recipe is very flexible. The key ingredients being mashed beans, nuts for texture and egg to hold it together. Then you can add all sorts of things to give it flavor. I should have added some more seasonings to boost the flavor, but I was in a hurry. I did chill my mix in the freezer for about 10 minutes to make it less gooey and that seemed to help the burger hold up well. As someone who abhores walnuts and isn't a fan of sunflower seeds-- I was impressed that the nuts didn't bother me at all.

These were wonderful. I spiced them up a bit and through all the ingredients in a processor for a short burst to help with the sticking problem. Added garlic, basil, liquid smoke, and some Worcestershire sauce.

I loved these. I think this deserves 5 stars even though I did have to change it up a bit. I used walnuts and pumpkin seeds and made mine vegan by using veganaise instead of an egg. I used chopped chives instead of diced onion because that's what I had on hand. My seasonings: garlic powder (no fresh garlic on hand), smoked paprika, and black and red pepper. And I used lentils...again what I had on hand. I also added a dash of liquid smoke and tamari. I used a food processor, and I even overprocessed the mixture a bit, and it's still fantastic. I had no trouble with mine staying together. I just handled them gently when flipping, and they did fine. I served on toasted ww buns with sliced tomatoes, broccoli sprouts, and smoked tomato dressing. Oh yeah...I'll be making these again!

I spent a rainy Saturday making five different kinds of veggie burgers from the site. I wanted to load up the freezer because summer is a busy time for us and these would make for easy suppers. I have to say this has been our least favorite burger so far. It is just so dry. I added Moroccan seasoning and served them in pita with cucumber sauce. Even with the sauce they were just overwhelming dry. I think it's the nuts. None of the other recipes used nuts. I love nuts, but apparently not in my veggie burger. It seemed to get worse the more you ate it. Our stars lowered throughout the meal. I couldn't bring myself to finish one. It was better with feta and olives but that's only because they were making the lack of good flavor. I'll not be making these again.
