Folks,

I know that CI had one a few years ago; anybody try it? Any other suggestions?

I ask because a local restaurantier is thinking of adding a veggie burger to the menu on weekends, and she's looking for recipe suggestions.

Here's one my pescatarian daughter was looking at. It's a bit fussy. I don't think she's tried it yet. http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/201 ... -suck.html
He also has a black bean one that looks good. Deb

The CI one was very fussy - used way too many ingredients/bowls, fell apart and wasn't too tasty. NG IMO.

Cook's Illustrated Ultimate Veggie Burger from 2005 bears a striking [family?] resemblance to Kenji's. The CI burger is time consuming, tasty and filled with mushrooms, lentils, leeks, onions, bulger, cashews and PANKO. I think I recall being less than thrilled with the quality of the thawed product in the second and third round. Recipe upon request.

I am not sure why multiple cups of panko are needed in veggie burgers, so I have been looking at this Chickpea and Veggie Burger that really is mostly veggies.

OTOH, I may just make falafel.

This one is a very nice mushroom, spinach and almond patty from the NYTimes.
With the cost of almonds these days it might not be cost effective for a restaurant, but I have made them several times.
Personally, I think that trying to mimic a burger is the wrong approach. You can make fritters or pancakes from just about any grain+chopped vegetable+binders combo and serve them with a sauce and skip the the bun. This is a great way to utilize leftovers and keep the menu changing.

One of the best veggie burgers I ever had was in SF at the Plant Cafe Organic. I found the recipe on someone's blog and it's on my to-do list. Has anyone had veggie burgers made with beets? Pretty darn delicious.

Given that the restaurant is in SF, she can't copy the Plant Cafe recipe, even though they are good. I'll forward her Becky's suggestion.

My friend made these and I thought they were delicious if a tad on the crumbly side:

Vegan Veggie Burgers

1/2 cup onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons ground flax, mixed with 1/2 cup warm water
1 cup oats processed to flour
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and mashed or pureed
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/3 cup almonds, chopped
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon groun cumin
1 tsp. oregano
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste (I used about 1/2 tsp kosher salt)

Mix together and form into patties. Makes about 10 burgers.
