Questions & Replies
-
Has anyone tried making these on the grill? Would they hold together if you cooked them this way? -
What kind of oats? Regular or Quick? -
Any suggestions for substituting the egg. My DD eats vegan, so no animal by product. Thanks for any help. I think she would really love these otherwise. -
My husband hates cilantro, what would you recommend as a substitute? -
Do these freeze well either before cooking or after?

These are the most delightful burgers--they're a snap to make, they taste great, and they're even healthy!! I first saw this recipe in The Coastal Living Cookbook*, put out by Coastal Living magazine, and have made it many times since. I usually make one third of the recipe and that makes three nice size burgers. Even my husband, a confirmed bean hater, enjoys them (smart man--lol!!). Thanks for posting this ratherbeswimmin'!!! (*Note: The Coastal Living Cookbook version lists 3/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.)

What a fabulous recipe! Me and my fiancé are big meat eaters, so we were both a little apprehensive about trying veggie burgers, but honestly, these were so good! It made a lovely change to not have meat! So easy to make as well! -
These are very tasty. DH and I are "heat wuzzies" so no jalapeno for us but a little bit of green pepper. The veggie flavors are very compatible. I singed my first try so a little bit "camping style" but we will do these again. Like someone else, I made 1/3 of the recipe since there is only two of use. Tasty and satisfying. This is a fine example of a satisfying vegetarian food that is interesting enough to eat in its own right and (no offense intended) doesn't have to settle for being a meat substitute. I had cilantro and I think it's a must in this recipe to keep the taste bud interest quotient high. Thanks, Di. You have very dependable recipes. -
I like the texture very much; held together nicely while cooking. I need to tweek the ingredients to suit our tastes, tho. Made for the TEX-MEX event in Cooking Photos.

This was a huge hit with my teenage daughter and myself! I had Cilantro that I had dried, didn't add the peppers and was out of cornmeal so used from a Jiffy Corn Muffin box but these were so good! I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil as well.
