    I made these for my family for dinner last night, and everyone liked them. I think I used way too much rice, but I will try this again, with a bit of tweaking.

    On a side note, why are there so many negative reviews by people who won't try these? Why review at all? - 6/1/08

    I just made this and it was DELICIOUS! I made it with plain brown rice and wheat flour (no soy) because that's all I had. Made it a little stodgy but still yum. I served it with a salsa of chopped tomatoes, avocado, sweetcorn, garlic and lime juice, salad and no bun, it was a big hit with everyone! - 9/8/07

    With ingredients including wild rice, olive oil, and a nice variety of vegetables--I was anxious to try this recipe--and was very pleased. My only modifications (personal dietary preferences) were: using a salt-free seasoning blend and omitting the soy flour. A tasty burger well worth the effort. - 12/15/09

    This is a great, well-balanced Vegan protein option with wonderful taste . I made it a couple of days ago and froze the patties so they are ready when I am. Sort of like a Vegan Garden burger if you will. As for the folks with several dietary restrictions, this might not be the recipe for you. - 12/15/09

    Good, but make sure you add seasoning. - 5/17/09

    use eggplant instead of mushrooms if you are allergic but reduce the water as EP is high in water content. Try your own veggies. - 6/22/09

    I will be making these ahead of time from now on.. yummy! thanks so much for posting it - 6/22/09

    This made a very nice burger. It was very easy to make and the gluten helped hold it together better than any other homemade veggie burger I've tried. I will definitely make it again. Next time I plan to add a little chopped jalapeno to give it a kick. Thanks for the great recipe! - 3/28/10

    For dietary restrictions: I used spelt fluor instead of wheat and soy flour and the patties came out ok. I got 12 good size patties. However, they are very bland. Also, they not only take quite a bit of time, but the clean up afterwards is considerable. Still, I'll try them again with more spices. - 12/21/09

    Good "tweakable" recipe. I added 1/2 c. ea. grated carrots and finely diced celery. If you are on a special diet, instead of complaining of recipes, you should learn what substitutions you can use to make the recipe "diet-friendly" for you. It can be fun to do this and see how well these subs work! - 10/9/10

    Have made these twice now and I love them! Both times I made them exactly as the instructions said, but I think I'll just start making them with whatever I've got in the fridge to use up. Easy, great texture, tasty and filling.
    After being cooked they freeze and reheat beautifully too.

    Above recipe is great for others but we are gluten,soyand dairy intolerant and would appreciate these types of recipes - 9/5/07

    Sounds good- I would try it because I went to a nutrition workshop and meat free was hightly recommended. - 9/4/07
  • KELTYCPHOENYX
    My husband is allergic to mushrooms, so I use tofu or zucchini in place of them and it tastes great! Adding nori or miso can also pump up your flavor profile a bit. - 11/2/12

    These are worth the time if you have it to spare. Could be easily tweaked to your liking. I used less broccoli and more mushrooms cause that's what I had. Next time I will add jalapenos or something with more of a kick.

    I meant to give this 4 stars, but there doesn't seem to be a do-over button! - 10/9/10

    A recipe I definitely will try! But I will have to modify because we are trying to avoid wheat, soy and mushrooms. I appreciate all the comments, like subbing eggplant. So many of us need to avoid wheat and soy, etc. It's really not 'negative' to just bring that up or to request substitution ideas. - 12/15/09

    I am trying to make more meat free dishes. This one is good. Of course, I wouldn't just be standing around for 70 minutes; I do other things. - 6/22/09
