These burgers were a very tasty alternative to some of the veggie burgers I have tried. Next time I might spice up the sauce by adding some canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce or ancho chili powder. I think some lemon juice would add additional flavor as well. Overall, we liked this recipe. Thanks for the post!
