Required quite a bit of chopping, definitely use a food processor; it will save you about 30 minutes. I liked the emphasis on healthy ingredients, but the taste of the quinoa burgers didn't live up to expectations. Although the relish helped spice things up, the burger was on the bland side. Although all those fresh vegetables went into the patties, they still mostly tasted like quinoa.
Whether we're at a restaurant or a weekend barbecue, it always breaks our hearts just a little to get a veggie burger that's little more than a dry, beige puck. There's absolutely no reason the vegetarian option can't be as flavorful, savory, and robust as its carnivorous counterpart — if not even more of a gastronomic delight. These four veggie burgers are worthy occupants of any bun — no faux-meat here, just fantastically delicious combinations of beans, vegetables, legumes, and grains.
