Loved these little gems. Will make a sauce to go over them as we didn't have them in a bun. Loved the lemon flavor, so light and yummy.

This is a pretty tasty meatless burger! I don't care for onion so left it out, otherwise made as directed. I did process until smooth and I think maybe I will leave the mixture a little chunkier next time. It held together nicely on the grill (charcoal) and that added a great flavor; I think I'd like to try it pan-fried sometime too for a little moister crunch on the outside. All in all a tasty burger that we enjoyed with dijon mustard, lettuce and tomato - thanks for sharing the recipe!
