In the spirit of the summer I have decided to do a burger tour. First stop was a vegetarian burger. Well overall this was not a full success, but not a failure either. Here is how it went down.
My cousin suggested doing a vegetarian dish, so with her help and a lot of research I decided on doing a burger. I thought it would be a good way to start in the world of vegetarian food. There are so many wonderful sounding dishes out there in the vegetarian world that it took me months to decide.
Ok back to my burger, the taste was there but the texture was a total failure for me. The recipe will not be posted due to it not being right yet, but once I figure it out you know it will be up there. It was a chickpea based burger. I used ciabatta bread instead of regular buns. This was a awesome change. Overall I would have given this meal a C+ that can be up to an A easily when I can figure out the texture problem.
Next week for stop 2 on the summer burger tour is a turkey burger.
I have found that black beans or canellini (white beans) make the texture more moist. I am so glad you are trying veggie options, good for you. I will try to find the recipe I use, it's pretty good, but they take a bit of tweaking to get it just right.

TVP is a good option too...It helps bind together the veggies for a nice patty. Making these from scratch without a recipe is definitely trial and error!! :)
