I have never tried to make veggie burgers before and I was excited to have another meatless dish to add to our dinner rotation, but I'm not sure I will try this again. The flavor is excellent, but there were some serious drawbacks. There is definitely a lot of prep work to chop all of the vegetables. If you have a food processor, it would save a lot of time to use that to mince everything. I also had a really difficult time getting the patties to stick together. I ended up with 11 patties, because the patties were huge if I just divided the recipe into eight. We started out putting them on the grill on tinfoil (because I was afraid they would crumble), but I ended up just transferring them to a pan and frying them in a bit of butter because they were sticking to the foil and falling apart. If I do try them again, I will add another egg to the mixture, make the patties even smaller, and just pan fry them in a bit of olive oil.
